To be Christ's page at the altar,

To serve Him freely there,

Where even angels falter,

Bowed low in reverent prayer.

To touch the throne most holy,

To hand the gifts for the feast.

To see Him meekly, lowly,

Descend at the word of the priest.

To hear man's poor petition,

To sound the silvery bell,

When he in sweet submission,

Comes down with us to dwell.

No grander mission surely

Could saints or men enjoy:

No heart should love more purely,

Than yours who serve with joy.

God bless you child forever,

And keep you in his care.

And guard you that you never

Belie the robes you wear.

For white bespeaks untainted

A heart both tried and true:

And red tells love the sainted

And holy martyrs knew.

Throughout your life, then, endeavor

God's graces to do right;

And be in heart forever

God's witness and God's knight.
