544   Jesus Son of Blessed Mary




[1]
Jesus Son of blessed Mary
Once on earth a little child
Pattern fair of holy living
Gracious loving undefiled:

[2]
Though Thy eager heart was yearning
Heavy laden souls to free
Yet Thou calledst little children
In their happiness to Thee.

[3]
Grant that we like little children
Free from pride and guile may be;
Cheerful trusting safe protected
By the blessed Trinity.
