Mary
Lady so thankful, Lady so kind
Lady to whom
A great task was assigned
Lady so innocent, Lady so good
So courageous to take on
What no other lady would
Lady so destined, Lady so blessed
God asked her a favour
And our lady said yes
Lady so dutiful, so fearless, so brave
Though doubted and threatened
Her faith did not waive
Lady so nurturing,
She answered the call
To be Mother of Jesus, Mother of us all
Lady so sorrowful
Tested her life through
Her son had to die
She accepted this too
Lady so pure, Lady so loved
Rose so precious
She was taken above
Body and soul
Not a blemish was permitted
Our lady so fair
To heaven was admitted
Watching from above Refuge and guide
Our Lady, Our Mother
Always on our side
There to comfort, orning star
Help to us all from heaven afar.
