Sing of Mary, pure and lowly by Plymouth Collection, 1855 — Lyrics

VERSE 1 Sing of Mary, pure and lowly, Virgin mother undefiled, Sing of God's own Son most holy, Who became her little child. Fairest child of fairest mother, God the Lord who came to earth, Word made flesh, our very brother, Takes our nature by His birth. VERSE 2 Sing of Jesus, son of Mary, In the home at Nazareth, Toil and labor cannot weary Love enduring unto death.

About Sing of Mary, pure and lowly

"Sing of Mary, pure and lowly" is a gentle, narrative hymn that draws us into the quiet humility of the Blessed Virgin and the mystery of the Incarnation. It is a favorite for Marian feasts, offering a tender reflection on the mother who welcomed God's own Son. The melody carries a steady, comforting rhythm that makes it easy for the congregation to join the choir in singing.

The verses walk us through the life of the Holy Family. We start with Mary's purity and the birth of Christ, then move to the hidden years of toil in Nazareth, and finally trace Jesus' path to Calvary. It is a moving reminder of the enduring love between mother and Son, making it deeply appropriate for reflections during the Rosary or Marian devotions.

By the final verse, the hymn opens up into a grand doxology, giving glory to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It connects the quiet heart of Mary to the unending song of all the saints, echoing out to the ends of the earth. This makes it a wonderful choice for a recessional or an offertory hymn during the months of May and October.
