Mary set out in those days,
Traveled in such haste,
Set off to greet Elizabeth
There was no time to waste.

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
As Mary entered the room
The infant leaped with joy,
Within Mary’s cousin’s womb.

She cried out in a loud voice,
To this, the scriptures attest:
Blessed are you among women.
The fruit of your womb is blessed.

Then she asked the question,
Just how this could be,
That the mother of my Lord,
Should come unto Me?

May we bring the Lord to the sick,
and to those who are in need.
May Mary show, how best to plant
in souls, true Christian seeds.

As Mary visited her cousin,
May Godly friends be sent to those we love,
May Christ be brought to their lives,
With grace and blessings from up above.

May loved ones see the Lord,
Know that He is there;
May they bow down before Him.
May they give to Him their cares.

Dear Father up in heaven,
Loved ones’ souls, take care and tend,
Please send to all our loved ones
Good and Godly friends.
