1 O Jesus Christ, our Lord most dear,
As Thou wast once an infant here,
So give this child of Thine, we pray,
Thy grace and blessing day by day.

[Refrain:}
O holy Jesus, Lord divine,
we pray Thee guard this child of Thine.

2 As in Thy heav'nly kingdom, Lord,
Thy messengers obey Thy word,
Send forth the succor of Thy might;
To shield this child both day and night. [Refrain]

3 And all her life, let angels keep\
Her safe from harm, awake, asleep;
May she not bear the cross in vain,
But with Thy saints a crown attain. [Refrain]
