(Lyrics: Remus Harris / Music: Arthur Strauss)


Billy Ward & The Dominoes (Lead vocal: Jackie Wilson) - 1956

As recorded by MALCOLM VAUGHAN:


St. Therese of the roses

I will come to you each night

Near the altar in the chapel

I will pray by candle light


St. Therese of the roses

Won't you kindly hear my prayer

Give your blessings to my sweetheart

And the love that we both share


Won't you guide us (Guide us) and protect us (Protect us)

Through the years that lie ahead

won't you fill our hearts with sunshine

On the day that we are wed


You're the little flower of Heaven

Guiding all who come to you

St. Therese of the roses

I know you'll make my prayer come true


(Won't you guide us and protect us)

(Through the years that lie ahead)

won't you fill our hearts with sunshine

On the day that we are wed


You're the little flower of Heaven

Guiding all who come to you

St. Therese of the roses

I know you'll make my prayer come true
