V86: LITTLE WHITE GUEST

You have come to my heart, dearest Jesus,
I am holding You close to my breast;
I’m telling You over and over,
You are welcome, O Little White Guest.

I love You, I love You my Jesus,
O please do not think I am bold;
Of course, You must know that I love You,
But I’m sure that You like to be told.

I’ll whisper “I love You, my Jesus”,
And ask that we never may part;
I love You, O kind, loving Jesus
And press You still near my heart.

And when I shall meet You in Heaven,
My soul then will lean on Your breast,
And You will recall our fond meetings,
When you were my Little White Guest.
