Dear Mary journeys through the thorn
Kyrie eleison!
Dear Mary journeys through the thorn
that for sev'n long years no leaf hath borne
O Jesus and Mary.

What clasps she to her heart so near?
Kyrie eleison!
A tiny child from sin so clear
which to her heart she holds so near,
O Jesus and Mary.

Red roses flow’r on ev’ry stem,
Kyrie eleison!
As through the thorns He wanders then
Red roses flow’r on ev’ry stem,
O Jesus and Mary.

Now what, oh what shall be His name?
Kyrie eleison!
The Christ, the Christ, the very same,
Oh Chat, indeed, shall be His name,
O Jesus and Mary.

This sacred name who shall declare?
Kyrie eleison!
John Baptist shall that name declare
To those who ready are to hear,
O Jesus and Mary.

What christ'ning gifts for Him are there?
Kyrie eleison!
What things in heav'n and earth are dear,
Those things for Him are now brought here,
O Jesus and Mary.

Now who alone hath saved the world?
Kyrie eleison!
The Christ Child, He hath saved the world,
And from it Satan's sin hath hurled,
O Jesus and Mary.
