Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #560 (2011) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Worship (4th ed.) Lyrics: 1 To Christ, the Prince of Peace
And Son of God most high,
The ruler of the world to come,
We lift our joyful cry.
2 Deep in his heart, for us
The wound of love he bore,
That love with which he still inflames
The hearts that him adore.
3 O Jesus, victim blest,
What else but purest love
Could make your sacred heart pour forth
God's graces from above?
4 O fount of endless life
And spring of water clear,
O heav'nly flame which cleanses all
Who unto you draw near!
5 Enfold us in your heart,
O Jesus, Savior blest,
So shall we find your plenteous grace
And heav'n's eternal rest. Topics: Sacred Heart of Jesus Languages: English Tune Title: FESTAL SONG
To Christ, the Prince of Peace
