 E'en so  I  love  Thee,  and  will love, and  in  Thy  praise will  sing; Solely because  Thou  art my  God And my  eternal  King.

LL you  who  fain  what  you  possess To others  would  impart, Oh! listen to  those  words  of  fire Breathed forth  from  Jesus'  Heart.

"And other  sheep  I  have,"  He  says, "And they  too  I  must  bring. That  there  may  be  one  only  Fold,   One  Kingdom  and  one  King."

To bring  them  back  He  little  heeds What tears  and  blood  He  spent  — As though  without  those  "other  sheep  " He could  not  be  content.

Count not  the  cost,  ye  chosen  ones, At which  souls  must  be  bought; Cost what  it  may,  to  Jesus'  Heart Those "others"  must  be  brought.

With all  we  love,  and  life  itself, Oh! what a  joy  to  part! To satisfy  the  burning  thirst Of Jesus'  sacred  Heart.

— From  The  Voice  of  the  Sacred  Heart.
