YouTube video: When Mary Looked Upon Her Child, hymn

Text:
When Mary looked upon her Child, I wonder what she thought,
While knowing she would share her Baby's life which would be, would be sought.
I wonder if she asked for strength to master each new day,
or did she know her Father would sustain her as she obeyed.

When Mary looked upon her Child, I wonder if she viewed
Herself as mother of God's Son . . . Him, who would be pursued.
Or did she hold her Baby close, just wanting to protect?
I wonder if her eyes had tears each day while sweet Jesus, while Jesus slept.

When Mary looked upon her Child, I wonder if she prayed
For greater faith to conquer all obstructions that would block the way.
I wonder if she felt prepared for what was just ahead,
And did she trust each day for help no matter where God led?

When Mary looked upon her Child, I know she felt great love
Because she had been given Him from God, our Father up above.
She cared for our Lord all his life, throughout each mortal snare.
Her gift would be a mother's special love; a deep love they always would share.
