121: Gentle maid of Zion's grace
A Hymn to Saint Veronica
(Tune: Quem Pastores - Hohenfurth manuscript 1410)
Gentle maid of Zion's grace
How you mopped our Saviour's face!
Leaping out with tissue flying,
To the Lord in need of drying.
How we love your hanky fair!
How we love your hanky's care!
Also wipe us, help us see.
Blessed Vee! O Blessed Vee!
