- I
A little metal crucifix,
As plain as it can be,
And onely God in heaven,
Knows how dear it is to me.
I always have it with me,
In every step I take,
In evening when I slumber,
In morning when I wake.
II
In dark and stormy weather,
In sunshine and in rain,
It helps me in my struggles,
And relieves me in y pain.
And when the time approaches.
When I lie down to die,
I hope this little crucifix,
Beside me it will lay.
III
The Holy Name of Jesus,
The last words I shall say,
And kissing my dear crucifix,
My soul shall pass away.
