Heart of Jesus, All for Thee

Life on earth is all a warfare,
Foes within and foes without,
Jesus! Jesus, lo! the tempter
Flees before that battle shout;
In the fierce unceasing combats,
Let our tranquil warcry be.

Omnia pro Te Cor Jesu,
Heart of Jesus, all for Thee,
Omnia pro Te Cor Jesu,
Heart of Jesus, all for Thee.

All, yes, all, I would not pilfer
From my holocaust apart,
Ev'ry thought, word, deed and feeling,
Ev'ry beating of my heart,
Thine till death, and Thine forever,
My heart's cry in heav'n shall be.

Omnia pro Te Cor Jesu,
Heart of Jesus, all for Thee,
Omnia pro Te Cor Jesu,
Heart of Jesus, all for Thee.

This will nerve the arm that's weary,
This will dry the tear that steals,
This will soothe the wasting anguish
That the heart in secret feels.
Ever in my soul 'twill slumber,
Often to my lips 'twill start,

Omnia pro Te Cor Jesu,
Heart of Jesus, all for Thee,
Omnia pro Te Cor Jesu,
Heart of Jesus, all for Thee.

All things, all things, hard and easy,
High and low, and bright and dark,
Naught too poor for me to offer,
Not to small for Thee to mark,
Health and sickness, rest and labor,
Joy's keen thrill, and grief's keen smart,

Omnia pro Te Cor Jesu,
Heart of Jesus, all for Thee,
Omnia pro Te Cor Jesu,
Heart of Jesus, all for Thee.
