¶Lyrics / Text

1. I'll sing a hymn to Mary, The Mother of my God, The Virgin of all virgins, Of David's Royal blood. O teach me, holy Mary, A loving song to frame, When wicked men blaspheme thee, To love and bless thy name. 2. O Lily of the Valley, O mystic Rose what tree Or flower, e'en the fairest, Is half so fair as thee? O let me, though so lowly, Recite my Mother's fame: When wicked men blaspheme thee, I'll love and bless thy name. 3. O noble Tower of David, Of gold and ivory, The Ark of God's Own promise, The Gate of Heaven to me; To live, and not to love thee, Would fill my soul with shame: When wicked men blaspheme thee, I'll love and bless thy name. 4. But in the crown of Mary, There lies a wondrous gem, As Queen of all the Angels, Which Mary shares with them; "No sin hath e'er defiled thee," So doth our faith proclaim: When wicked men blaspheme thee, I'll love and bless thy name.
