Ode to Jesus, King of Virtues



Oh Jesus, King of Faith

Thou are sent by God the Great

Thy Spirit is our greatest soulmate



Oh Jesus, King of Hope

Thou grant us light with no scope

Thy Sacred Heart's fire never says nope



Oh Jesus, King of Charity

Thou are the spring of generosity

Thy heart is overflowing with mercy



Oh Jesus, King of Prudence

Thou guard us against malevolence

Thy rod is our guide to benevolence



Oh Jesus, King of Justice

Thou strike the sinners with right chastise

Thy judgment is free of any malice



Oh Jesus, King of Fortitude

Thou help us form proper attitude

Thy strength endures great magnitude



Oh Jesus, King of Temperance

Thou give to evil no single chance

Thy purity must have resemblance.
