Once Mary would go wandering,
Through all the land would run
That she might find her Son
That she might find her Son.
Who met she as she journeyed forth?
St. Peter that good man,
Who sadly did her scan
Who sadly did her scan.
O tell me have you seen Him yet
The one I love?
God's son whom I have lost
The Son whom I have lost.
To well, to well I have seen that Son,
T'was by a palace gate
Most grievous was His state,
Most grievous was His state.
O say, what wore He on His head?
A crown of thorns He wore;
A cross He also bore,
A cross He also bore.
Once Mary would go wandering,
Through all the land would run
That she might find her Son
That she might find her Son.
