65 A SONG OF TRUE MOTHERHOOD | |||
Refrain: | Christ came in our poor flesh* to share a mothers care. | ||
1 |
God chose to be our mother in all things* and so made the foundation of his work, most humbly and most pure, in the Virgins womb. | ||
2 |
God, the perfect wisdom of all,* arrayed himself in this humble place. | ||
3 |
Christ came in our poor flesh* to share a mothers care. | ||
4 |
Our mothers bear us for pain and for death;* our true mother, Jesus, bears us for joy and endless life. | ||
5 |
Christ carried us within him in love and travail,* until the full time of his passion. | ||
6 |
And when all was completed and he had carried us so for joy,* still all this could not satisfy the power of his wonderful love. | ||
7 |
All that we owe is redeemed in truly loving God,* for the love of Christ works in us; Christ is the one whom we love. | ||
| |||
Christ came in our poor flesh* to share a mothers care. |
