  1. I
    Jesus Heart is your true refuge
    To Him you can always flee
    Even when your hopes are sinking
    He will then a true friend be.
    2
    He will soothe your lonely spirit
    He will love and bless and say.
    Come to me and I will comfort
    You to-day and every day.
    3
    My own sweet Immaculate mother,
    When deaths dreary shadows draw nigh.
    Wilt thou come from thy throne in the Heavens
    And teach me thy-self how to die.
    4
    Oh come by Saint Joseph attended
    Let me hear the sweet tones of thy voice.
    Saying now that my exile is ended
    The time is at hand to rejoice.
    5
    Bring me home to the heart of thy master
    To the land overflowing with bliss.
    Where my joys shall be deep and undying
    To repay all my sorrows in this.
