Unknowing, Mary stands within that cloud
Foretold by Simeon so long ago
And ponders in her heart, that loves You so,
Your myst’ry in God’s providence He shrouds.
Her faith first shown to us at Nazareth
Marks her as one in line of Abraham
When she becomes Your Mother; God’s own Lamb
Now slain, our sinful hearts You take to death.
While our blessed Mother ponders once again
God’s ways which seem to her inscrutable,
Her faith is raised with You from crucible,
As veil of sin and death You for us rend.
In Mary’s cloud, Lord Jesus, give us faith
In You that we may know we share her fate.
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
