Little Bernadette

On a hillside far away
A little girl sat down to pray
Now her name we can't forget
It's little Bernadette
Sweet and gentle child was she
Destined for eternity
Bringing hope to you and me
Little Bernadette
There she saw a wondrous sight
A lovely lady dressed in white
All aglow with heavenly light
So beautiful to see
Then she heard the lady say
"Please ask the world to kneel and pray
Find the spring so fresh and clear
And built a chapel there
Sweet and gentle child was she
Destined for eternity
Bringing hope to you and me
Little Bernadette
Where the sparkling waters flow
The people bring their cares and woe
And give thanks to all they owe
To Little Bernadette
Sweet and gentle child was she
Destined for eternity
Bringing hope to you and me
Little Bernadette
