GRAINS OF GOLD

HYMN TO THE SACRED HEART. When our hearts are crushed with anguish, And care-laden lies our way, When for sympathy -we languish, What a balm these words convey : Trust in the Heart of Jesus. O Sacred Heart, O Sacred Heart, Rest in the Heart of Jesus, O Sacred Heart in Thee. When our cherished hopes are blighted, And our friends inconstant grown, When by worldlings coldly slighted, Hear those words, poor, lost, and lone; Hope in the Heart of Jesus. O Sacred Heart, O Sacred Heart, Live in the Heart of Jesus ; O Sacred Heart, in Thee.
