Children of the Sacred Heart Lyrics

Children of the Sacred Heart

When the battle rages fiercest

‘round the standard of our king.

Let us closer press unto Him

louder, clearer, let us sing.

  

Refrain:      
Jesus be our King and Leader

Grant us in Thy toil a part.

Are we not Thy chosen soldiers

Children of the Sacred Heart.

Teach us dearest Lord and master

Many souls to win for thee.

Teach us Thy heart’s chosen virtue

meekness and humility.  Refrain

Make us know Thee

make us love Thee.

Daily, hourly, more and more.

‘Til we stand in ranks unbroken

on the everlasting shore.  Refrain
