At Home in our Hearts

Manoling Francisco, SJ

You who welcomed Christ into your home,
You who must have washed the Savior's feet,
Are truly blest, you who fed the Lord when weary and forlorn.
Blest are you who served the Lord's needs.

You with whom He shared His wondrous deeds,
You to whom He bared His broken dreams,
Are truly blest, you whom Jesus sought before His lonely end.
Blest are you whom Jesus called His friend.

REFRAIN:
And so we pray, now and always.
That we might serve the Lord as selflessly.
By feeding those in need, their woes making our own,
In our hearts may Jesus find a home.

You who begged the Lord to raise His friend,
You who knew our death He would amend,
Are truly blest, You whom Jesus heard say, "You are the Messiah,
The Son of God who comes into the world!"
