Mary’s Lament

A Star shines brightly high To tell a King is nigh But Mary holds a baby No sound he makes no cry she lays him in a manger This night he first is born To keep him safe from danger All on a Christmas morn She lullabyes so soft so low She sees the crown and the thorn She sings of how she loves him so But still her heart is torn forlorn All on a Christmas morn And while your babe is asleep Why Mary do you weep His path you see to Calvary You see his wounds so deep You shoulder now his Cross This night he first is born You gave him birth to die for us All on a Christmas morn She lullabyes so soft so low She sees the crown and the thorn She sings of how she loves him so But still her heart is torn She lullabyes so soft so low She sees the crown and the thorn She sings of how she loves him so But still her heart is torn forlorn All on a Christmas morn All on a Christmas morn
