1 Your little ones, dear Lord, are we,
And come your lowly bed to see;
Enlighten ev'ry soul and mind,
That we the way to you may find.
2 With songs we hasten you to greet,
And humbly fall before your feet.
Oh, blessed hour, oh, sweetest night
That gave you birth, our soul's delight.
3 Oh, draw us wholly to you, Lord,
And to us all your grace accord;
True faith and love to us impart,
That we may hold you in our heart.
4 Until at last we too proclaim,
With all your saints, your glorious name;
In paradise our songs renew,
And praise you as the angels do.
