Mary's Baby
S. Homer
Christ was born in Mary's pain;
Mary anguished, Christ was slain,
Truth ascended from a tomb.
They murdered Jesus on the Cross,
Mary's flesh that Mary bore;
Hers the bleeding side they tore,
Hers the death, and hers the loss.
God is not by flesh confined,
God was never crucified,
Only Mary's Baby died
For the hope of humankind.
