Mother of Holy Hope Lyrics

Antiphon: Mother of holy hope and of love everlasting, O pray for us.

1. At the dawning of time

I was known by the Lord and his

command came to me.

He chose the land where I should establish my tent.

2. In the city of God he has given me rest,

and my body he placed therein,

Forevermore I shall rule the city of God.

3. As a tree is planted beside flowing streams,

a cedar strong lifted on high.

So I took root in the holy people of God.

4. As the odour of spice or the fragrance of balm,

or choicest myrrh is my perfume.

As fragrant incense I lift my praise to the Lord.

5. Come to me all who yearn to be filled with my fruits,

And you will yet hunger for no more.

For all who try me will find my memory sweet.

6. Of a virgin was born Jesus,

Lord whom we pray Glory and praise to his name.

May every age call his Mother holy blest.
