‘Tis a simple little prayer
And it isn’t hard to say
You can say it anywhere,
In the night or in the day;
And the oftener you say it
The better you shall be;
‘Tis “Sacred Heart of Jesus
I place my trust in Thee.”
It makes your crosses lighter,
It softens every pain
It makes your soul grow whiter
Until the crown you gain.
‘Twill grow to be your sweetest song
On air or land or sea
“Sacred Heart of Jesus
I place my trust in Thee.”
