Traditional Air by Rev. A.J. Christe, S.J.   This is the music swept away by the winds of VII       Children like myself sang it in the 1940’s and 50’s … JFK and Jackie had a Sacred Heart song sung at their wedding. It was a typical First Friday song.

Cor Amoris

To Jesus’ Heart all burning  With fervent love for men                                                                    My heart with fondest yearning    Shall raise its joyful strain

Refrain:                                                                                                                                                     While ages course along  Blest be with loudest song,                                                                       The Sacred Heart of Jesus by every heart and tongue.

O Heart for me on fire  With love no tongue can speak                                                                 My yet untold desire   God gives me for Thy sake.

Refrain:

Too true,  I have forsaken Thy love by willful sin;                                                                           But now let me be taken   Back by thy grace again

Refrain:

As thou art meek and lowly; And ever pure of Heart                                                                     So let my heart be wholly Of Thine the counterpart

Refrain:

Oh! that to me were given  The pinions of a dove,                                                                            I’d speed aloft to heaven,  My Jesus love to prove.

Refrain:

When life away is flying,  And earth’s false glare is done                                                                Still, Sacred Heart in dying,  I’ll say I’m all Thy own.

 

“The More you honor Me, the more I will Bless you”
