Mary's Wandering

Once Mary would go wandering

Through all the land would run

That she might find her Son

That she might find her Son

Who met she as she journeyed forth?

St. Peter that good man

Who sadly did her scan

Who sadly did her scan

O tell me have you seen Him yet

The one I love ?

God's son whom I have lost

The Son whom I have lost

To well, to well I have seen that Son

T'was by a palace gate

Most grievous was His state

Most grievous was His state

O say, what wore He on His head?

A crown of thorns He wore;

A cross He also bore

A cross He also bore

Once Mary would go wandering

Through all the land would run

That she might find her Son

That she might find her Son
