O Heart of Jesus

O’ heart of Jesus, Son of the eternal Father, Lord of creation;
The Fountain and the source of all life and all salvation.
Be our comfort and strengthen us through all pain and strife;
Have mercy O’ Lord, and bring us to eternal life.

O’ heart of Jesus, formed by the Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mother;
He came in the flesh, to be our servant and our brother.
Be our comfort and strengthen us through all pain and strife;
Have mercy O’ Lord, and bring us to eternal life.

O’ heart of Jesus, the propitiation of our sins;
Your rich mercy and compassion towards us never ends.
Be our comfort and strengthen us through all pain and strife;
Have mercy O’ Lord, and bring us to eternal life.


O’ heart of Jesus, obedient to death, you suffered in our place;
By your holy wounds, by your death, you saved us by grace.
Be our comfort and strengthen us through all pain and strife;
Have mercy O’ Lord, and bring us to eternal life.

O’ heart of Jesus, our life and our everlasting King:
By your glorious resurrection, you overcame death’s sharp sting.
Be our comfort and strengthen us through all pain and strife;
Have mercy O’ Lord, and bring us to eternal life.

O’ Heart of Jesus, hope of those who die in thee;
Lead all souls from this world to the bliss of eternity.
Be our comfort and strengthen us through all pain and strife;
Have mercy O’ Lord, and bring us to eternal life.

O’ Lamb of God, who takes the sin of the world away;
Lead and guide us. Give us comfort and strength each day.
Bring us through this journey, through all pain and strife;
Lead us on home, to share with you, eternal life.
