In the Heart of Jesus
Translated by George Sigerson (1907) · From Bards of the Gael and Gall (1907)
That in Jesus' heart should be
One like me is marvellous;
Sin has made my life a loss
But His Cross shall speak for us.
As of old, O Jesus sweet!
Bless my feet and hands Thine own;
Of thy bounty, bless to good
These my blood, and flesh, and bone.
Never now I keep from ill
Since my body will take part;
Make it hallowed by Thy love
From above, in head and heart.
Sweet and great one! grant relief,
All my grief take quite away;
So that ere my life be spent
Thou'lt have sent and cleared my way.
