Blest is the Love that cannot love Aught that earth gives of best and brightest; Whose raptures thrill like saints' above, Most when its earthly gifts are lightest.

Hear Thy Children, gentle Jesus
Father Stanfield M. Haydn Arr. by N. A. M.
Animato
1.
Hear Thy children, gentle Jesus, While we breath our daily prayer, Save us from all harm and danger, Take us 'neath Thy shelt'ring care.
Save us from the wiles of Satan, 'Mid the lone and sleepful night, Sweetly may bright Guardian Angels Keep us 'neath their watchful sight.
2.
Gentle Jesus, look in pity, From Thy great white throne above; All the night Thy Heart is wakeful, In Thy Sacrament of love.
Shades of even fast are falling, Day is fading into gloom, When the shades of death fall 'round us, Lead Thine exiled children home.

Little King, so fair and sweet
School Hymn S.N.D.
From a Slovak Hymnal Arr. by N. A. M.
Unison
1.
Little King, so fair and sweet, See us gathered at Thy feet: Be Thou Monarch of our school, It shall prosper 'neath Thy rule.
We will be Thy subjects true, Brave to suffer, brave to do; All our hearts to Thee we bring, Take them, keep them, little King.
2.
Raise Thy little hand to bless All our childhood's happiness; Bless our sorrow and our pain, That each cross may be our gain.
Be Thine own sweet childhood, Lord, Sanctify each though and word, Set Thy seal on ev'ry thing Which we do, O little King.
3.
Be our Teacher when we learn, All the hard to easy turn; Be our Playmate when we play, So we shall indeed be gay.
Keep us happy, keep us pure, While our childhood shall endure, All its days to Thee we bring, Bless them guard them, little King.
4.
And when holidays have come, Call Thy children to Thy home, In that gentle voice of Thine, Which we know, sweet Child divine.
At the gate, oh, meet us thus, As we loved Thee--Child like us; Stretch Thine hands in welcoming To Thine own, O little King.

FOR CHILDREN The Infant Jesus
When Blossoms flowered 'mid the snows
A Christmas Carol For Unison Chorus (Gesu Bambino) Frederick H. Martens Pietro A. Yon Copyright 1917 by J. Fischer & Bro.
By permission of J. Fischer & Bro. Owners of Copyright British Copyright Secured
Andante mosso
1.
When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows Upon a winter night, Was born the Child, the Christmas Rose, The King of Love and Light.
The angels sang, the shepherds sang The grateful earth rejoiced; And at His blessed birth the stars Their exultation voiced.
Refrain O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
2.
Again the heart with rapture glows To greet the holy night, That gave the world its Christmas Rose, Its King of Love and Light.
Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name, The grateful chorus swell.
From paradise to earth He came That we with Him might dwell.
