Show THE FIRST COMMUNION. (By S. L. Emery.) O. how I love thee, ehi'd: Come unto Me! Holy and undefiled. Come unto Me; Come, with thy heart made white; Come, with the angels bright; Come, to supreme delight. Come unto Mc! Give Me thy heart, dear child; Fear not to come! Jesus, the meek-and mild. Welcomes thee home! Come, innocent and good. Feed thou on angel's food! Cleased by My Precious Blood. Come to Me, come! Naught that this world tan show Equals thy bliss: No joy on earth below Compares with this. All sin forgiven now. No lily fair as thou: Here at My altar bow; Receive My kiss! Then, when this life is done,- Come unto Me, Where, on My great white throne, I wait for thee. These First Communion hours Arc as the budding flowers Of Heaven's eternal bowers, Come unto Me! -Sacred Heart Review. |
