Jesu par-vu-le on Thy couch of hay. Greet we Thee today, sweet Son of Mary. Be Thy slumber deep while fair angels keep vigil o'er Thy sleep, blest Babe of Mary. 'Tis Thy joy to see Kings on bended knee, off'ring gifts to Thee, sweet Son of Mary. But Thou may'st not know what these gifts fore-show of they future woe, blest Babe of Mary. Let this gold the while with its glint beguile, Thy dear lips to smile, sweet Son of Mary. May no shadow gray, cloud one happy day of Thine infant play, blest Babe of Mary. Go Back to CARDS BY YEAR
