O sacred heart of Jesus Christ! <br />Afilled with sorrow from our sins, <br />Thy precious blood bleeding from it <br />With anguish, from our blunders made. <br /> <br />Love radiating endlessly; <br />Heart yearning to forgive our sins; <br />What sufferings you underwent <br />To pay the price to set souls free! <br /> <br />What kindness filled eyes gaze on us! <br />Thy piercing looks can touch all hearts, <br />Converting souls in mortal sins, <br />Into remorse and repentance. <br /> <br />With halo round Thy divine head, <br />And lips that silently console <br />All minds in chaos and travail, <br />Bestowing peace and joy unique. <br /> <br />Thy countenance, calm and serene; <br />And Hand that blesses those who plead <br />For favors and eternity <br />In Heaven- hear our prayers Lord! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 11-24-2007<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-sacred-heart-of-jesus/
