MOTHER OF THE MYSTICAL BODY
Canst thou forget that breathless day
when hidden in thy womb there lay,
("Ave" and Fiat" being said,)
we the members, Christ the Head?
Canst thou forget that happy morn
when thou didst see thy newly born
asleep within a manger bed
we the members, Christ the Head?
Canst thou forget the bitter woe
of that Good Friday long ago,
the cross where agonising bled
we the members, Christ the Head?
Oh Mother, thou canst not forget,
His suffering members bleeding yet,
till time to timelessness has fled,
we the members, Christ the Head
