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
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
