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.
