And in the hours of childish life
their feet doth dance the hours away.
they must put aside these things,
And she of womanly form and face
now dons the bridal veil
While he stands by in proud and manly grace.
That while he is born of the Flesh,
And as a small child
And he passeth through all of the
things of manhood
his childish form
Ere he enters the Kingdom of Heaven.
