Unto Mary, demon-haunted,
With unholy dreams distraught,
By her neighbours mocked and taunted,
Christ his healing wisdom brought.
Banish, Lord, our minds' confusion,
Fear and fever drive away;
Down the valleys of illusion
Spread the kindly light of day.
Mary then, with faith unswerving,
Shared her saviour's tireless days,
Thankfully her master serving,
Helping him in humble ways.
Grant, O Lord, that we may never
Grow too proud for simple things;
Let us bring to all endeavour
Hands unwearied, heart that sings.
Unto her, who saw them sunder
Valiant soul from tortured frame,
First appeared the risen wonder,
First the quickened Jesus came.
Lord, when time from us has taken
Earthly joys and earthly friends,
Let our lonely hearts awaken
To the joy that never ends.
