St. Comboni and the Sacred Heart

Its flame gave Saint Comboni sight

Devotion made his work complete

For love will lift one from retreat

To carry on through darkest night

Ringed round with thorns that pierce with might

A heart transcending all  defeat

Its flame gave Saint Comboni sight

Devotion made his work complete

This saint who crossed through desert's blight

Found strength of grace for weary feet

And courage for his own heartbeat

Guiding lost souls to paths aright

Its flame gave Saint Comboni sight
