The Child of Grace song was comissioned by the Bishop’s Conference of England and Wales for the visit of the relics of St Thérèse of Liseux to England September to October 2009.

LYRICS

Child of the ordinary, faith so extraordinary
Served the Lord with humbleness away from worldly gaze
Gifted with innocence lifelong obedience
From this ‘little flower’ came a garland of praise

Thérèse of Lisieux
gave her life in prayer
and lived the little way
Thérèse of the Child Jesus
taught us to become like little children
That we might learn the mysteries
of your kingdom

Child of the ordinary, blessed with humility
Promise of glory for a child of cheerful face
Heavens gates have welcomed her,
hell had no claim on her
Pray for us Thérèse O Little Child of Grace
