THE days the doubts the dreams of painA
Are over not to come againB
And from the menace of the nightC
Has dawned the day star of delightC
My baby lies against me pressedD
Thus Mother of God are mothers blessedD
-
-
His little head upon my armE
His little body soft and warmF
His little feet that cannot standG
Held in the heart of this my handG
His little mouth close on my breastD
Thus Mary's Son are mothers blessedD
-
-
All dreams of deeds all deeds of dayH
Are very faint and far awayH
Yet you some day will stand uprightC
And fight God's foes in manhood's mightC
You tiny worshipped clasped caressedD
Thus Mother of God are mothers blessedD
-
-
Whatever grief may come to beI
This hour divine goes on for meI
All glorious is my little spanJ
Since I like God have made a manJ
A little image of God's bestD
Thus Mary's Son are mothers blessedD
-
-
Come change come loss come worlds of tearsK
Come endless chain of empty yearsL
They cannot take away the hourM
That gives me You my bird my flowerM
Thank God for this Leave God the restD
Thus Mother of God are mothers blessedD
