This sweet little Lily, this babe of our love,

This gift of our Father in glory above,—

O Crucified Saviour, we bring her to Thee

To make her as pure as the lily to be;

Thy Spirit attend her, nor leave her alone.

O make her to love Thee and seal her Thine own!

Thus may she forever dwell close to Thy breast,

And enter all blood-washed, the Heavenly Rest.
