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
