HEART OF JESUS, KING AND SAVIOUR

"Heart of Jesus, King and Saviour" is a gentle, earnest hymn of petition that speaks directly to the Sacred Heart. We often sing this when we want to draw our focus back to the core of our faith, inviting Christ to reign not just in the church, but in our homes, schools, and daily lives. The words carry a deep sense of intimacy, asking Jesus to be our friend and brother, sharing in our everyday joys and sorrows.

Because the first verse explicitly mentions the "Eucharistic banquet," this piece is a wonderful choice for Communion or during times of Benediction and Adoration. It reminds the congregation that the love shown at the crib, the cross, and the altar is meant to transform us, uniting our hearts as one. It is a simple but profound prayer that leaves the choir and the people reflecting on how we might respond to such a gift, knowing that love is repaid by love alone.
