I.
Come join your prayerful voices
And sing in sweet accord,
A hymn of love and worship,
“Praised be the Incarnate Word!”
Thus may we sing forever
At God’s eternal throne
This hymn of love triumphant,
“Praised be the Incarnate Word!”
II.
Receive, Oh sweet Child Jesus
The love we offer thee.
Our hearts, our souls, our very lives,
May yours forever be.
Let ev’ry thought, word, action,
In fervent hearts be stirred
With zeal for thy great glory,
Oh great Incarnate Word.
III.
Oh, Jesus, Word Incarnate,
Accept our homage meet.
Our daily consecration
We lay at thy dear feet.
We’ve chosen thee for model
Our King and loving Lord.
Oh keep us loyal ever
To thee, great Incarnate Word.
The Hymn to the Incarnate Word is played every day of the year at 7:30 a.m.,
3:03 p.m. and 9:03 p.m. In the past, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate
Word would gather each day at 3:00 p.m. for mid-afternoon prayer.
