Daughter of Nazareth
Your birth was a historic event
To play an important part
In the saving of the human race.

Daughter of Bethlehem
You were singled out
To be born free of original sin
To give birth to the Saviour.

Daughter of Galilee
You went about your role
In bringing up the Infant One
With great delight at God's gift to you.

Daughter of Capernaum
You longed to spend more time with your Son
But was happy with the brief moments you got with Him
As He went about His earthly mission.

Daughter of Jerusalem
Prophets foretold your coming
You were mentioned in the Garden of Eden
When God promised to send a New Eve.

Daughter of Zion
You shared in the Passion of your Son
Never left His side by the Cross
Accepted His body into your gentle arms.

Daughter of Mankind
You still intercede for us from Heaven
God exalted you and made you not just the Queen
But Mother of the whole world.
