Blessed was the womb that bore you;
Mary, Mother meek and mild,
Blessed was she in her child.
Blessed was the breast that fed you;
Blessed was the hand that led you;
Blessed was the mother's eye
Watching o'er your infancy.
2 Blessed she by all creation,
Who brought forth the world's salvation.
Blessed they who ever blest,
Love you most and serve you best.
Virgin-born, we bow before you;
Blessed was the womb that bore you;
Mary, Mother meek and mild,
Blessed was she in her Child. Topics: Christmas Season; Family Life; Holy Family; Mary, Mother of God Scripture: Luke 11:27 Languages: English Tune Title: MON DIEU PRETE-MOI L'OREILLE
