O Thou, the Son of God most High, Thou Father of the life to be, O Prince of Peace, to Thee we cry, We bring our song of praise to Thee. Thy Heart was wounded by the blow Ordained of everlasting love; Such love among Thy flocks below Thou kindlest at the fires above. Dear Christ in pity for our woe Thou didst Thyself as victim give, The cruel pangs to undergo, To ope Thy breast that man might live. O sacred fount of love sublime, O living spring of waters free, O fire to cleanse away all crime, O Heart aflame with charity. Lord, keep us ever in Thy Heart, Thy tender love to feel and know, The joys of heaven to us impart, When we shall leave these walks below. Glory to Father and to Son, And to the Holy Ghost the same, To whom all power, when time is done, And endless rule, in endless fame.
