SHALL we not love thee, Mother dear,
so well?

And in His Temple, year by year, Thy joy and glory tell?
Mary, the Mother of JESUS."
Bound with the curse of sin and shame We helpless sinners lay,
Until in tender love He came
To bear the curse away.
And thee He chose from whom to take
True flesh His Flesh to be;
In It to suffer for our sake,
By It to make us free.
Thy Babe He lay upon thy breast,
To thee He cried for food;

O wondrous depth of grace Divine. That He should bend so low; And, Mary, O what joy was thine In His dear love to know:
Joy to be Mother of the LORD; And thine the truer bliss,
In every thought, and deed, and word, To be for ever His.
And as He loves thee, Mother dear, We too will love thee well;
And in His Temple, year by year, Thy joy and glory tell.
JESU, the Virgin's Holy SON,
We praise Thee and adore,
WHO art with God the FATHER One And SPIRIT evermore. Amen.
