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
