So then of course, I felt compelled to write a child-friendly song drawn from his Hymn 9 on the Nativity. I just wrote new words for the Galician Carol, "We Learned for the Angel," which is about the greeting to Mary at the Annunciation. So you hear the familiar ring of "Rejoice, Mary, full of grace," which may be lazy, but also totally appropriate.
Rejoice, O Tamar,Woman full of faith,Our Lord has made you chaste.You sat at the gateAnd you stole life,So you were not afraid.Blessed Foremother of the Lord!Blessed desire for the savior you bore!Rejoice, O full of faith!
