'Mary-like in soul & body,
Mary-like in mind & heart,
Mary-like in every action
Child of God how fair thou art.
Fair to Christ & all His angels
Fair on earth since thou art
seen,
To be like her -
like to Mary
Earth & Heaven's fairest Queen.
Night & day, in joy & sorrow,
Night & day, 'neath crushing
care,
Ask of Christ true
Mary-likeness,
through the year be this your
prayer.
Christ will hear & Christ will
answer
if your pleading but ring true -
Jesus make me just like Mary,
Mary, make me just like YOU!
