Wondrous Child of Grace

Wondrous Child of Grace,
tell me how I should live.
To repay You, O little Child,
for Your love through time and worlds.

Wondrous Child of Grace,
tell me how I should give thanks
for the graces, for the gifts
that refresh my body and soul.

Wondrous Child of Grace,
tell me how I should ask
to touch Your Father’s heart,
to discern His will.

Wondrous Child of Grace,
tell me how I should learn
not to break beneath the cross,
to echo Your “Fiat.”

Wondrous Child of Grace,
tell me how I should love;
my soul is still so dry,
and so near the threshold of death.

Wondrous Child of Grace,
when I must depart, reach me
Your dear little hands,
and lead me to a blessed end!
