Hi
am also looking for my first communion hymn that i love so much every time i pray to Mary i sing this hymn and only remember just the same that you have remembered
O Mary Mother sweetest blest
From Heaven’s immortal bowers
To gather for a little child
A bouquet of sweet flowers
I wish my little heart to be
A cradle fair and gay
Where Blessed Jesus may repose
On my First Communion Day
Where Blessed Jesus may respose
On my First Communion Day
i hope that some one can help to find this wonderful hymn and send it to me
thanks

How sweet to be a little child
and hear The Saviour say;
Let little children come to Me
and turn them not away.
What other day in all our life
Could be so sweet as this
When Christ bestows on children’s lips
their First Communion kiss

Athanasius Kruger – I’ve been searching for the same FC Hymn –
O Mary Mother sweetest blest
From Heaven’s immortal bowers
To gather for a little child
A bouquet of sweet flowers
I wish my little heart to be
A cradle fair and gay
Where Blessed Jesus may repose
On my First Communion Day
Where Blessed Jesus may respose
On my First Communion Day

This is all I can remember and would love to have both the lyrics and music, if any one can help.

After hunting for the lyrics for 3 months, I finally found them. Thought I would share them on this although it may not be of use to you anymore. I love this hymn so much and my First Communion class love singing it.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome Jesus – First Communion 2011

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome Jesus
In my soul forever stay
Joy and love my heart are filling
On my First Communion Day.

I adore you, I adore you
Hidden now within my breast
Glory, honour, praise forever
To my Lord who is my guest

Bless me now my loving Jesus
All I think or do or say
All my life may I remember
This – my First Communion Day!

Thanks for all your replies.

Pam i think that must be the one! I did all those searches myself as well on the internet and came up with nothing.
Joanna thats great i hope he has a special day and please do post the lyrics!
Athanasius i dont think that is the same song.

it’s a sweet little song though – got a real nursery rhyme style to it, i think thats why i must have had it stuck in my head so long lol.

My little boy is making his First Communion next week 27th June 2010. I know it’s a year since this message was posted. But we are singing that hymn after my prompting – so I’ll post words soon x Joanna x

I sang the same hymn at my First Holy Communion (more than 40 years ago!) and it’s called My First Communion Day. Has ‘welcome, welcome, welcome Jesus, in my soul forever stay ..’ then I don’t remember the rest. Can’t find the music or the lyrics on youtube or any other site so far …. good luck with your search. If you find out more will you let me know? I want to use it for my daughter’s First Holy Communion in June this year.
