Charles H. Giffen - O Mother Mary of the Cross - текст песни (слова)

O Mother Mary of the Cross
 The first Australian saint, we hail.
 Thy work to lead the poor to truth
 Awaking mercy in thy trail.
 
 Thou ever soughtest Joseph's aid
 Strong in the faith that he would be
 An advocate to that dear Heart
 That bled and died upon the Tree.
 
 The Tree of life, the Cross of death
 To which thy name and life were bound,
 The paradox that pain and strife
 To everlasting joy redound.
 
 O Mary! intercede for us
 And form us to His holy Will
 With Father and the Holy Ghost
 And Heart of Jesus burning still.
 
 Veronica Brandt (1979-)
