Lovely Lady dressed in blue
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little boy,
Tell me what to say!
Did you lift Him up, sometimes,
Gently on your knee?
Did you sing to Him the way
Mother does to me?
Did you hold His hand at night?
Did you ever try
Telling stories of the world?
O! And did He cry?
Do you really think He cares
If I tell Him things -------
Little things that happen?
And
Do the Angels' wings
Make a noise?
And can He hear
Me if I speak low?
Does He understand me now? '
Tell me -------for you know.
Lovely Lady dressed in blue
-------
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little boy,
And you know the way.

All things rising, all things sizing Mary sees, sympathising With that world of good, Nature's motherhood. Their magnifying of each its kind With delight calls to mind How she did in her stored Magnify the Lord.
