Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, kindness, humbleness of mind.

SPIRIT of Childhood! loved of God, By Jesu's Spirit now bestow'd;

How often have I longed for Thee;

O Jesus, form Thyself in me!

And help me to become a child

While yet on earth, meek, undefiled,

That I may find Thee always near,

And Paradise around me here.
