blessèd was the womb that bore thee;
Mary, maid and mother mild,
blessèd was she in her Child.
2 Blessèd was the breast that fed thee;
blessèd was the hand that led thee;
blessèd was the parent's eye
that watched thy slumbering infancy.
3 Blessèd she by all creation,
who brought forth the world's Salvation,
blessèd they – for ever blest,
who love thee most and serve thee best.
4 Virgin-born, we bow before thee;
blessèd was the womb that bore thee;
Mary, maid and mother mild,
blessèd was she in her Child. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days The Blessed Virgin Mary Used With Tune: QUEM PASTORES
