O Sacred Heart!
Thou fount of contrite tears,
Where’er those living waters flow,
New life to sinners they bestow,
O Sacred Heart.

O Sacred Heart!
Bless our dear Fatherland,
May Erin’s sons to truth e’er stand,
With Faith’s bright banner still in hand,
O Sacred Heart.

O Sacred Heart!
Watch o'er our Sister Isle,
Till Faith, ere long, return once more,
And find a home on England’s shore,
O Sacred Heart.

O Sacred Heart!
Our trust is all in thee;
For though earth’s night be dark and drear,
Thou breathest rest, when Thou art near,
O Sacred Heart.

O Sacred Heart!
When shades of death shall fall,
Receive us ’neath Thy gentle care,
And save us from the tempter’s snare,
O Sacred Heart.

O Sacred Heart!
Lead exiled children home,
Where we may ever rest near Thee,
In peace and joy eternally,
O Sacred Heart.
