And the Angel came in unto her and said Hail thou thatA
art highly favoured the Lord is with thee blessed artB
thou among women St Luke iC
-
-
Oh Thou who deign'st to sympathiseD
With all our frail and fleshly tiesD
Maker yet Brother dearE
Forgive the too presumptuous thoughtF
If calming wayward grief I soughtF
To gaze on Thee too nearE
-
Yet sure 'twas not presumption LordG
'Twas Thine own comfortable wordH
That made the lesson knownI
Of all the dearest bonds we proveJ
Thou countest sons and mothers' loveK
Most sacred most Thine ownI
-
When wandering here a little spanL
Thou took'st on Thee to rescue manL
Thou had'st no earthly sireM
That wedded love we prize so dearE
As if our heaven and home were hereN
It lit in Thee no fireM
-
On no sweet sister's faithful breastO
Wouldst Thou Thine aching forehead restO
On no kind brother leanP
But who O perfect filial heartB
E'er did like Thee a true son's partB
Endearing firm sereneP
-
Thou wept'st meek maiden mother mildQ
Thou wept'st upon thy sinless ChildQ
Thy very heart was rivenR
And yet what mourning matron hereN
Would deem thy sorrows bought too dearE
By all on this side HeavenR
-
A Son that never did amissD
That never shamed His Mother's kissD
Nor crossed her fondest prayerS
E'en from the tree He deigned to bowT
For her His agonised browT
Her His sole earthly careS
-
Ave Maria blessed MaidU
Lily of Eden's fragrant shadeU
Who can express the loveK
That nurtured thee so pure and sweetV
Making thy heart a shelter meetV
For Jesus' holy doveK
-
Ave Maria Mother blestO
To whom caressing and caressedO
Clings the eternal ChildQ
Favoured beyond Archangels' dreamW
When first on Thee with tenderest gleamW
Thy new born Saviour smiledQ
-
Ave Maria thou whose nameX
All but adoring love may claimX
Yet may we reach thy shrineY
For He thy Son and Saviour vowsD
To crown all lowly lofty browsD
With love and joy like thineY
-
Blessed is the womb that bare Him blessedO
The bosom where His lips were pressedO
But rather blessed are theyZ
Who hear His word and keep it wellA2
The living homes where Christ shall dwellA2
And never pass awayZ
