Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Jesu, if Thou wilt make
Thy peach trees bloom for me
And fringe my bridle path both sides
With tulips, red and free
If Thou wilt make Thy skies as blue
As ours in Sicily
And wake the little leaves that sleep
On ev’ry bending tree
I promise not to vexen Thee
That Thou shouldst make eternally
Heaven my home
But right contentedly
A singing page I’ll be
Here in Thy springtime, Jesu
Sung here by Fred Feild:
