INFANT JESUS
Infant Jesus meek and mild
look on me a little child.
Pity mine and pity me,
suffer me to come to Thee.
Heart of Jesus I adore Thee,
heart of Mary I implore thee,
heart of Joseph pure and just,
in these three hearts I place my trust.
FOR THE LITTLE ONES
Infant Jesus come to me,
That I may good and happy be;
My heart is small; for Thee my all,
For Thee, dear Jesus, Holy Child.
What father, mother, teacher say,
I'll do at once, yes, right away,
All that they will, I must fulfil,
For love of Thee, dear Jesus, Child.
Should wicked satan to me say,
"Come, little friend, do walk my way,"
I'll say No! No! I can not go,
I'll only go with Jesus Child.
HEART OF THE HOLY CHILD
Heart of the Holy Child,
Hide me in Thee;
Purest and undefiled,
Purify me;
Joy of my infant life,
Far from evil passions rife,
Troubling this world of strife,
Keep me with Thee!
Sweet Child of Bethlehem,
Open Thine heart;
Lessons from Nazareth
Deign to impart.
Mary and Joseph dear,
Let us be to Jesus near,
With you, we shall not fear
From Him to part.
