TO THE PORT WHERE I FAIN WOULD BE, AND... MOTHER OF CHRIST, MOTHER OF CHRIST THIS DO I ASK OF THEE WHEN THE VOYAGE IS O'ER OH STAND ON THE SHORE AND SHOW HIM AT LAST TO ME Hail Mary: Gentle Woman Hail Mary, full of grace, Sing of Mary, Pure and The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women Sing of Mary, pure and lowly, And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Virgin mother undefiled, Jesus. Sing of God's own Son most holy, Who became her little child. Holy Mary Fairest child of fairest mother, Mother of God, God the Lord who came to earth, Pray for us sinners, now Word made flesh, our very brother, and at the hour of our death. Takes our nature by His birth. Amen. Gentle woman, Sing of Jesus, son of Mary, quiet light, In the home at Nazareth, Morning star, Toil and labor cannot weary So strong and bright, Love enduring unto death. Gentle Mother, Constant was the love He gave her, Peaceful dove, Though He went forth from her side, Teach us wisdom, Forth to preach, and heal, and suffer, Teach us love. Till on Calvary He died. You were chosen by the Father, Glory be to God the Father; You were chosen for the Son, Glory be to God the Son; You were chosen from all Glory be to God the Spirit; And for woman, shining one. Glory to the Three in One. Blessed are you among women. From the heart of blessed Mary, Blessed in turn all women too. From all saints the song ascends, Blessed they with peaceful spirits. And the Church the strain re-echoes Blessed they with gentle hearts. Unto earth's remotest ends.
