Mary s Roses


Of God, the most Holy
The handmaid so lowly,
We rise up and bless her
Because of her Son.

Blest in her beauty,
Surpassing her peers;
Blest in her glory,
Blest in her tears.

A spring within welling,
In her He is dwelling;
The mother is gladdened
Because of her Son.

She gathered the roses
In His garden grown;
Her joys and her sorrows
Were sprung from His own

No need for a portent
Or Angel to tell-
Small wonder she bore Him
Who knew Him so well.

And as she first guided
The steps that He trod,
He has taught us to gather
The roses of God.
