May the Sweet Name of Jesus
Translated by Eleanor Hull (1913) · From The Poem-Book of the Gael (1913)
Religion
May the sweet name of Jesus
Be lovingly graven
In my heart's inmost haven.
O Mary, Blest Mother,
Be Jesus my Brother,
And I Jesu's lover.
A binding of love
That no distance can sever,
Be between us for ever.
Yea, O my Saviour,
For ever and ever.
