Hymn in honour of Margaret Aylward

Marie Dunne CHF

Woman of Faith

Chosen by God, you answered this call
To bring God’s love to all,
The poor, the needy, the child without a home,
With you they were never alone.

Refrain
Margaret Aylward, woman of faith, we honour you today,
Margaret Aylward, woman of faith, we honour you today.

You treasured the gift of God’s faith in each one,
Through the spirit of Jesus, God’s son,
You nurtured, protected and tended with care
This gift given to be shared. (Refrain)

United with Christ, strengthened by His love,
You prayed His prayer to the Father above,
“That all may be one as you and I are one,
That they all may be one in love.’  (Refrain)
