Sweet Sacred Heart -- New Recording

It seems like every Lent and Advent I record some new songs. This year is no exception. Here is a free download from Soundcloud of "Sweet Sacred Heart". The lyrics are from a hymn by A.E. Tozer with original music and prayers from the Litany of the Sacred Heart.



When all the day of toil is done
and twilight spreads her purple wing
when starry vigils have begun
before the Eucharistic King

In light or darkness, life and death
In time and in Eternity
Devoted heart with trusting faith
we consecrate our all to Thee

In joy or grief, in hope or fear
In sin, in suffering and distress
behold a refuge ever near
to heal, to comfort and to bless

In light or darkness, life and death
In time and in Eternity
Devoted heart with trusting faith
we consecrate our all to Thee

When softly dawns the golden light
and shadows melt oer land and sea
O sweet and sacred heart of Christ
We consecrate our souls to Thee

In light or darkness, life and death
In time and in Eternity

Before Thine altar's holy throne
Where we now humbly kneel and pray
we bring to Thee, to thee alone
the offering of the newborn day

In light or darkness, life and death
In time and in Eternity
Devoted heart with trusting faith
we consecrate our all to Thee
