THE SACRED HEART.
BY NORAH M. JONES.

BY NORAH M. JONES.
All faint with thirst, to Thee the nations
plead,
For strength and comfort in their great
est-need.
Sick with our wounds, Thy help we now
implore,
TO bear the cross where Thou hast trod
before.
We strive, Oh! Lord, to break Of self
the chains,
And wash our garments free from soiling
stains,
In that blest stream which saints and
sinners know
Till lost in Thee, our hearts with rap
ture glow.
In silent alteration let us dwell,
While sacred words the ancient prdY llets
tell.
"Ceme ye, my sons and daughters, come
to me
And taste the joys my love hath stored
for thee"
But love for love due return demands,
"Give me thy heart" "Obey thy Gods
cOmnAnds.O
The flames of love consume this Sacred
Heart,
And precious graccs to their soul i'm
part.
This bleeding Heart, this sacred, pre-
cious blood,
Still flows for thee an everlasting flood.
Tn seven fold channels runs the purple
tide,
And grace and mercy still tho suppliant
guide.
In soul absolving beauty Jesus stands,
Undying love dictates these sweet com,
mands,
His Heart unmantled as sign is given,
To lure and aid us in the paths OF
heaven.
