Hymn: John J. McMahon MSC

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart,

Immaculate and fair,

Around the a shrine we gather now

To claim a mother’s care.

Hymn: words: John Northey MSC

Oh Mary, Mother of God’s dear Son,

Whose heart is filled with Love Divine,

on earth our hope, in heaven our light,

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.

Hymn: Tom Luby MSC

Woman, this is your Son. Son, this is your Mother.

Mary, love-gift from the heart of Christ our brother.

Handmaiden of the Lord, God’s work forever heeding,

Mary, speak your mother-words, with his heart pleading

Hymn: James Maher MSC

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart,

Eternal sign of God’s surprise.

In you we know the poor as blessed,

This world transformed, before our eyes.

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart,

You heard the words of Gabriel,

Pray we may hear the call of God

And come to meet Emmanuel.

Hymn: Megan Donohue

Sweet Lady of the Sacred Heart,
Before thy shrine today.
We kneel on earth to choose thee Queen,
Queen of heav'n's eternal May.

To thee, sweet Mother, heav'nly Queen,
We raise our loving hearts today;
O, deign to listen to our words,
While lowly at thy feet we pray.

Hymn: Lyrics by Henry de Hey, MSC, Music by Guillermo Mees, MSC. Philippines
