Saint Theresa little flower
   during your short life on earth
   you became a mirror of angelic purity
   of love as strong as death
   and wholehearted abandonment to God
   now that you rejoice in your reward
   turn your eyes of mercy upon me
   for I so ardently desire
  
   A rain of roses on my heard
   a rain of roses at my hour of death
   shower roses on my head
   shower roses at my hour
  
   Of death
   abtain for me the need to keep
   my heart and mind pure like your own
   to receive the hoped for graces
   from the Lord's infinite Goodness
   I put all my confidence in you
   your " Little way " has
  
   Reached me too
   yes I implore your intercession
   for I so ardently desire
  
   A rain of roses on my heard
   a rain of roses at my hour of death
   shower roses on my head
   shower roses at my hour of death
  
   Little by little I come to littleness
   little by little to serve and love Him best
   little by little I'm on your " Little way "
  
   Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus
   oh I so ardently desire
  
   A rain of roses on my heard
   a rain of roses at my hour of death
   shower roses on my head
   shower roses shower roses
