Mother of Mercy

That all is light with love of thee. 3 Oh, gain me grace to love thee more: Thy Son will give, if thou wilt plead! And, Mother, when life's cares are o'er, Oh! I shall love thee then indeed, 4 My Lord, when His three hours were run, Bequeath'd thee, from the cross, to me; And oh, how can I love thy Son, Sweet mother, if I love not thee!
