To the river Nile to save her son
Hidden ’mongst reeds and rushes came one…
A praying mother of long ago…
Breath of God, on the rushes blow!
Faithful mothers with basket beds
Today send their children, prayer led,
Into this world of sin and woe,
Breath of God, on the rushes blow!
From my breast to the breast of the river of life
Goes my son…life of my life!
Pray I with the mother of Moses…Oh,
Breath of God, on the rushes blow!
