Greaterlove has no other,
thanthat of a mother,
whonine months carries us in her womb
andin her heart, to the shadow of the tomb
Greaterlove
thanGod above
Shesuffers our pains, forgives our sins
kissesus as each morning begins,
Fromour birth,
aguardian angel on earth
Apiece of her each is given,
tocarry us back to the gates of heaven
