Mary, Did You Know
Religious Music · Other Songs - Religious Music
would one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy
would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
will soon deliver you.
Mary did you know that your baby boy
will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy
will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
has walked where angels trod?
And when you've kissed your little baby
then you've kissed the face of God.
Oh Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
The blind will see, the deaf will hear
the dead will live a-gain
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
the praises of the Lamb.
Oh Mary, did you know that your baby boy
is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
is heaven's perfect Lamb?
And the sleeping child you're holding
is the great I AM.
Oh Mary,
Mary, Did You Know
Religious Music's recording of 'Mary, Did You Know' stands as a significant contribution to the choral tradition of English hymnody. The piece is widely recognized as a setting of the traditional catechism question, originally composed by Philip Bliss in 1875. While Bliss's original melody is often associated with the title 'Mary, Did You Know?', this specific song by Religious Music captures the reverent and melodic essence of the work within the broader canon of Christian worship music. The song's enduring popularity stems from its simple yet profound lyrics and its suitability for congregational singing, making it a staple in many religious services and educational settings worldwide. As a representative work of the genre, it reflects the historical development of hymn writing that balances theological depth with accessible musical structure.
