Song of Mary by Dan Schutte

Let us sing the praises of Mary,
daughter of David's holy line,
she who heard the voice of an angel
telling the plan of God's design,
how in wisdom's holy sight
she would mother heaven's Christ.
Blessed be the name of Mary,
she who trusted the love of God.
Let us sing the praises of Mary, chosen as blessed from the least, she who heard the song of the angels filling the night with heaven's peace. When the promised time had come she gave birth to God's own Son. Blessed be the name of Mary, she who trusted the love of God.
Let us sing the praises of Mary,
woman of strong and steadfast love.
She who raised the Savior of nations
held in her arms the Son of God.
She who knew the Father's grace
taught her Son to know God's face.
Blessed be the name of Mary,
she who trusted the love of God. Let us sing the praises of Mary,
pierced by the sword of sorrow's pain,
she who saw the child of her loving
nailed on a cross to die in shame.
Though his friends would flee in fear
she remained forever near.
Blessed be the name of Mary,
she who trusted the love of God. Let us sing the praises of Mary,
friend of the poor in ev'ry age,
she who saw her Son and her Savior
risen in glory from the grave.
Sin and death shall reign no more;
Christ has opened heaven's door.
Blessed be the name of Mary,
she who trusted the love of God.
