Dear Mary journeys through the thorn Kyrie eleison! Dear Mary journeys through the thorn that for sev'n long years no leaf hath borne O Jesus and Mary. What clasps she to her heart so near? Kyrie eleison! A tiny child from sin so clear which to her heart she holds so near, O Jesus and Mary. Red roses flow'r on ev'ry stem, Kyrie eleison! As through the thorns He wanders then Red roses flow'r on ev'ry stem, O Jesus and Mary. Now what, oh what shall be His name? Kyrie eleison! The Christ, the Christ, the very same, Oh Chat, indeed, shall be His name, O Jesus and Mary. This sacred name who shall declare? Kyrie eleison! John Baptist shall that name declare To those who ready are to hear, O Jesus and Mary. What christ'ning gifts for Him are there? Kyrie eleison! What things in heav'n and earth are dear, Those things for Him are now brought here, O Jesus and Mary. Now who alone hath saved the world? Kyrie eleison! The Christ Child, He hath saved the world, And from it Satan's sin hath hurled, O Jesus and Mary.
