“One of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.”
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

There is no night so dark

that Your love cannot heal.

Sacred Heart of Jesus,
eternal fire of love!
Fountain of infinite grace,
refuge of the sinner.

Your tenderness gives us life;

the hope You have promised.

May the whole world discover
the riches of Your love.
Verse 1
From Your pierced side flowed rivers
of grace and mercy for all humanity;
blood that redeems, water that purifies,
an eternal fountain of life and holiness.
Your Heart burns like a living flame,
a fire that never ceases to shine;
though people may wander from Your presence,
Your love never stops seeking them.
Pre-Chorus
There is no night so dark
that Your light cannot overcome;
there is no wound so deep
that Your love cannot heal.

Verse 2
Before time itself existed,
You were already thinking of every heart;
before our tears and struggles,
Your compassion already surrounded us.
When we stumble along the way,
Your hand lifts us up again;
when guilt weighs heavily upon the soul,
Your forgiveness embraces us once more.
Bridge
You call us to walk with You, Lord,
along paths of grace and truth,
until we come to know the width and length,
the height and depth
of Your love that surpasses all knowledge.
And so, filled with Your presence,
we learn to live in communion;
for Your Sacred Heart leads us
into the fullness of Your love.
“How precious is Your steadfast love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
For with You is the fountain of life;
in Your light we see light.”

Sacred Heart of Jesus,
eternal fire of love!
Fountain of infinite grace,

From the Cross to glory,
Your love will never change;
through the ages of ages,
Your mercy shall reign.

There is no night so dark
that Your light cannot overcome;
there is no wound so deep
that Your love cannot heal.

Sacred Heart of Jesus,
make our hearts like Yours.
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
teach us to live in Your love.

lead us into the fullness of Your mercy.
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
in You we trust.
Amen.
