Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Your love for me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Your Kingdom come.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have asked you for many favors, But I earnestly implore this one. Take it.
Place it in Your open, broken Heart; And, when the Eternal Father looks upon It, Covered with Your Precious Blood, He will not refuse it.
It will be no longer my prayer, But Yours, O Jesus. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You.
Let me not be disappointed.
