MYSTERY OF LOVE

God’s plan for our salvation
so long ago took place,
He gave us little Mary
to lead us from disgrace.

She was born so pure, Immaculate
more perfect than the sweetest flower,
that grows in the Father’s Kingdom
beauty increasing, with each hour.

The Spirit dwelled within her soul
drawn by this virgin pure,
and told her oh so many things
from all evil did obscure.

Of heavenly things her knowledge grew
with the dew of the Father’s love,
fresh as a rose in the morning
was this mystery of love.

His designs for her were special
she was to be the perfect one,
the pure and sweetest cradle
for Jesus, His only Son.
