Our heaven here below
What sweet delight, what wealth untold
From Thee do ever flow

O wounded Heart! O Font of tears,
O Throne of grief and pain!
Where on for the eternal years,
Thy love for man does reign!

Verse 4
Ungrateful hearts, forgetful hearts
The hearts of all have been
To wound Thy side with cruel darts
Which they have made by sin
