To Christ, the Prince of Peace

To Christ

the Prince of peace

And Son of God most high

The Fa­ther of the world to come

We lift our joy­ful cry.

Deep in His heart for us

The wound of love He bore

That love which He en­kin­dles still

In hearts that Him ad­ore.

O Je­su

vic­tim blest

What else but love di­vine

Could Thee con­strain to op­en thus

That sac­red heart of Thine?

O won­drous fount of love

O well of wa­ters free

O heav’n­ly flame

re­fin­ing fire

O burn­ing char­ity!

Hide us in Thy dear heart

Jesu

our Sav­ior blest

So shall we find Thy plen­te­ous grace

And Heav’n’s eter­nal rest.
