- Ah! what gift or present, Jesus, can I bring,
I have nothing worthy of my God and King.
Take my body, Jesus, eyes, ears and tongue,
Never let them, Jesus, help to do thee wrong.
Take my heart and fill it full of love for Thee,
All I have I give thee, give Thyself to me. - Mother sweet and Mother fair,
Give me Jesus now to hold,
I will take the greatest care,
I will keep Him from the cold.
I will love Him tenderly,
Please, Oh, please, do give Him me.- Collector

- Long ago the people before lying down to sleep used to trace the sign of the Cross on their foreheads and say-
"May Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, preserve me from a sudden and unprepared death".
