Sing of a Girl in the Ripening Wheat

This folk-style Marian-focussed Advent hymn was written by Damian Lundy FSC.

It is set to the traditional English melody used for Scarborough Fair.

The lyrics cannot be given here because they are copyright.   But the tune is not - therefore you may be able to use the attached file as the basis for making a lead sheet, if your parish / school has a copyright license that allows reproducing the lyrics.

It was published in Songs of the Spirit Volume 1, which is now out of print but may be available second hand.
