Jesus, Son of God most high, who didst in a manger lie, who upon the cross didst die: hear us, holy Jesus. Jesus, once an infant small, cradled in the oxen's stall, though the God and Lord of all: hear us, holy Jesus. Be thou with us every day, in our work and in our play, when we learn and when we pray: hear us, holy Jesus. When we lie asleep at night, ever may thy angels bright keep us safe till morning light: hear us, holy Jesus. Make us brave without a fear, make us happy, full of cheer, sure that thou art always near: hear us, holy Jesus. May we prize our Christian name, may we guard it free from blame, hating all that causes shame: hear us, holy Jesus. May we grow from day to day, glad to learn each holy way, ever ready to obey: hear us, holy Jesus. May we ever try to be from all angry tempers free, pure and gentle, Lord, like thee: hear us, holy Jesus. May our thoughts be undefiled, may our words be true and mild, make us each a holy child: hear us, holy Jesus. Jesus, from thy heavenly throne, watching o'er each little one, till our life on earth in done: hear us, holy Jesus.
