🎙️ LYRICS:
Old Mother Mary lived down by the gate
With a basket of weaving and a humble estate
She had but a loaf for the whole of the week
But she always looked out for the mild and the meek.

Open your hand, open your door!
Give of your riches to comfort the poor!
What you keep is lost in the sand
But what you give is the gold of the land!

A traveler knocked with a hunger so grim
She cut half her loaf and she gave it to him
"God bless you," he said, walking into the rain
And she smiled as she swallowed her own hunger pain.

Open your hand, open your door!
Give of your riches to comfort the poor!
What you keep is lost in the sand
But what you give is the gold of the land!

An orphan came crying, "I have not a crumb!"
Her fingers were shaking, her body was numb
She gave him the rest of the bread on the shelf
And stayed hungry that evening to joy humble self.

Open your hand, open your door!
Give of your riches to comfort the poor!
What you keep is lost in the sand
But what you give is the gold of the land!

But when she awoke at the breaking of light
Her table was full and a beautiful sight
The basket was brimming with bread and with meat
For Charity makes every bitter thing sweet.

Open your hand, open your door!
Give of your riches to comfort the poor!
What you keep is lost in the sand
But what you give is the gold of the land!
