You gave us his body to eat,
His holy blood to drink
What more could he have done for us?

Let us not deny it to little children
Nor forbid them
When they eat Jesus’ body.

Of such is the kingdom of heaven
As Christ himself told us,
And holy David says also:

From the mouths of small children
And of all innocent babes
Has come forth God’s praise
That the adversary may be cast down…

Praise God, you children You tiny babes, For he will not drive you away, But feed you on his holy body.
