Heart of Jesus patient and abounding in mercy, have mercy on us ...
Patience -
to sit through lonely nights
to hold a trembling hand
to bend your head to listen
-simple human kindness
Mercy -
to bind up the wounded
to feed the starving
to forgive the humble sinner
- simple human loving
Patience -
to call a sinner home
every day, every hour, every moment
of a cruel, evil life
- holy, divine kindness
Mercy -
to hear their muttered prayer
spoken with their last breath
and grant them grace
-- holy, divine loving
