A COLLECTION OF HYMNS OF THE MORAVIAN BRETHREN: 33, by                    
First Line: "chicken blessed and caressed, / little bee on jesu's breast"
Last Line: "chicken blessed, bee caressed, / thou that sleep'st on jesu's breast"
Subject(s): Moravian Brethren


CHICKEN blessed and caressed,
Little bee on Jesu's breast,
From the hurry and the flurry
Of this earth thou'rt now at rest:
From our care in lower regions
Thou art taken to the legions
Who 'bove human griefs are raised;
There thou'rt kept, the Lamb be praised!
Chicken blessed, bee caressed,
Thou that sleep'st on Jesu's breast.
