SING OF MARY

Sing of Mary, pure and lowly
Virgin mother undefiled,
Sing of God’s own son most holy,
Who became her little child.
Fairest child of Fairest mother,
God, the Lord, who came to earth,
Word made flesh our very brother,
Takes our nature by his birth.

2. Sing of Jesus, Son of Mary,
In the home of Nazareth,
Toil and labour cannot weary
Love enduring unto death.
Constant was the love he gave her,
Thou he went forth from her side,
Forth to preach and heal and suffer,
Till on Calvary he died.

3. Glory be to God the Father,
Glory be to God the Son:
Glory be to the Spirit,
Glory to be the three in one.
From the heart of blessed Mary,
From all saints the song ascends,
And the church the strain re-echoes
Unto earth’s remotest ends.
