Dearest Jesus, we are here
\nGladly Thy command obeying
\nWith this child we now draw near
\nIn accord with Thine own saying
\nThat to Thee (s)he shall be given
\nAs a child and heir of heaven.<\/p>\n
Therefore hasten we to Thee
\nIn our arms this infant bearing
\nLet us here Thy glory see
\nLet this child, Thy mercy sharing
\nIn Thine arms be shielded ever
\nThine on earth and Thine forever.<\/p>\n
