I Sing a MaidI sing a maid of tender yearsto whom an angel came,And knelt as to a mighty queen,and bowed his wings of flame:A nation's hope in her reply,this maid of matchless grace;For God's own Son became her child,and she his resting place.She watched him grow to manhood's strengthto meet his destiny;And when the danger of his truthbrought him to Cavalry,She stood by him all powerlessto ease his dying pain,Til in the darkest hour of all,She held her Son again.And if the song had ended then,our eyes would fill with tears;But ah! the song had just begunto echo down the years!Now lift your voices, hearts and souls,to sing with one accordTo honour Mary, Mother ofThe Christ, the Risen Lord.-M.D. Ridge, Gather
