Lambillotte, Joseph, S.J., was born July 3, 1805, at Hameau de la Hamaide, near Charleroi, Belgium; entered the Society of Jesus 1828; died at Saint-Acheul, near Amiens, Aug. 14, 1842. He contributed a number of hymns to the Choix de Cantiques, Paris, 1842, ed. by his brother Louis, also S.J. (De Backer, 1893, iv. 1415). One, which appears in 1842, No. 8, and has not been traced earlier, may be his, viz.,
O Divine Enfance (The Child Jesus the Model of Children), translated as "O Divinest Childhood," by E. Caswall in his Masque of Mary, 1856, p. 296. In the Parochial Hymn Book, 1880, it is in two parts, separately numbered, the second beginning "Come, ye little children." [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
