MOTHER OF CHRIST

What shall I ask of thee?
I do not sigh for the wealth of earth,
For the joys that fade and flee,
But, Mother of Christ, Mother of

This do I long to see:
The Bliss untold which thine arms
enfold,
The Treasure upon thy knee.

He was all in all to thee,
In Bethlehems cave, in Nazareths
home,
In the hamlets of Galilee,
So, Mother of Christ, Mother of
Christ,
He will not say nay to thee,
When He lifts his face to thy sweet
embrace,
Speak to Him, Mother of me.

3. Mother of Christ, Mother of Christ,
I toss on a stormy sea,
Oh, lift thy Child as a Beacon-light,
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 oer, Oh!
Stand on the shore,
And show Him at last to me.
