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 nearer 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.
