O my deir heart
English source:
Wedderburn Brothers
O my deir heart, young Jesus sweit,
Prepare thy creddil in my spreit,
And I shall rock thee in my heart
And never mair from thee depart.
But I shall praise thee evermoir
With sangis sweit unto thy gloir;
The knees of my heart shall I bow,
And sing that richt Balulalow!
