CHORUS.—While ages course along,
Blest be with loudest song
|| The Sacred Heart of Jesus
By every heart and tongued. ||
2. O Heart for me on fire
With love no man can speak,
My yet untold desire
God gives me for Thy sake.
3. Too true I have forsaken
Thy flock by wilful sin;
Yet now let me be taken
Back to Thy fold again.
Jesus, Gentlest Saviour
(REV. F. W. FABER)
1. Jesus, gentlest Saviour!
God of might and power;
Thou Thyself art dwelling
In us at this hour.
Nature cannot hold Thee,
Heav'n is all too strait
For Thine endless glory,
And Thy royal state.
2. Out beyond the shining
Of the farthest star,
Thou art ever stretching
Infinitely far.
Yet the hearts of children
Hold what worlds cannot,
And the God of wonders
Loves the lowly spot.
Jesus! Saviour of My Soul
1. Jesus! Saviour of my soul,
Let me to Thy refuge fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is nigh.
CHORUS.—Hide me, O my Saviour, hide
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into Thy haven guide,
O receive my soul at last.
Jesus! Saviour of my soul,
Let me to Thy refuge fly;
Ave, Ave, Jesus mild,
Deign to hear Thy lowly child.
2. Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee,
Leave, oh, leave me not alone,
Still support and strengthen me.
