The 6th December 1907 was the day Little Nellie of Holy God received her First Holy Communion. It was one of the most special days in her short life of 4 years. It was a day she longed for and needed to satisfy her hunger for Holy God. She deserved it with the devotion she had at such a young age.
This the the hymn that was sang for her on her Communion Day.
