Chorus
Babe and boy, child and man.
Mary’s joy, Mary’s pain.
None so close to his heart
Than the heart of Lady Mary.
Verse 1
God of glory, God of grace, bending into time and space.
Shedding his majesty, clothed in humanity,
Seeking humility for his resting place.
Verse 2
Mary, then, with wondrous delight, bears within this child of light.
Joys in his growing, pleasure bestowing,
Love overflowing, bringing love to life.
Verse 3
Lady Mary bears with joy sorrows of the heav’nly boy.
Weeps with his crying, sighs for his sighing,
Grieves for his dying, loveliness destroyed.
Verse 4
We, like Lady Mary mild, bring to birth the holy child.
Greet with elation Lord of salvation.
Our recreation in this babe abides
Final Chorus
Babe and boy, God and man.
All our joy, all our gain.
None so close to our hearts
Than the son of Lady Mary.
