When the Angel came before her
When the angel came before her,
The word of God upon his tongue,
Was he awed by this girl, so young,
Who offered all her love and care?
Shall we thank her for her hand
That taught the ways of gentleness,
Shall we thank her for her grace
That made Him strong enough to stand?
The child to manhood grew, a vine
Whose fruits forever quench our thirst.
Yet it was she who held him first,
She the gardener, rain, and sun.
Shall we thank her for her hand
That taught the ways of gentleness,
Shall we thank her for her grace
That made Him strong enough to stand?
We know the glory of the Cross
Shall grant salvation all our days,
But can we find the words to praise
A mother who could bear such loss?
Shall we thank her for her hand
That taught the ways of gentleness,
Shall we thank her for her grace
That made Him strong enough to stand?
The morning Mary stood above
The stone that darkness once had sealed,
She knew the empty cave revealed
He never would forget her love.
Let us thank her for her hand
That taught the ways of gentleness,
Let us thank her for her grace
That made Him strong enough to stand.
