        Jesus Christ, her little Child.   1/5                   is holy; Learning every day to love  with a love

        He came down to earth from heaven                       Verse 3
        Who is God and Lord of all,                             Walking every day more close  to our elder
        And His shelter was a stable,                           brother; Growing every day more  true unto one
                                                                another.

        And through all                                         Verse 5
        His wondrous childhood                                  Lord, so pray we every day, Hear us in thy pity,
        He would honour and obey,                               that we enter in at last  to the holy city.  Amen.
