Jesus Living in Mary

O Jesus living in Mary
Come and live in us.

O Maid, what anguish fierce
Remaineth yet for thee,
Whose tender heart the sword shall pierce,
Beside the dreadful tree―

Where thou, whose Infant cries
Foretell thy future woe,
Shall die, the perfect Sacrifice,
Redeeming all below.

Then, let us love thee well,
And praise thee evermore;
Let all the Father's praises tell;
The Holy Ghost adore.

(Hymns from the Paris Breviary, 1650)
