Where are you bound, Mary?

I have very fond of this hymn at Catholic School. It is such a gentle hymn but I can't seem to find the lyrics for it on any website. It goes like this:

Where are you bound Mary, Mary?
Where are you bound Mother of God?

If anyone can help I'll be most grateful - many thanks!

Where are you bound, Mary?
(Refrain)
where are you bound, mary mary
where are you bound, mother of god

Beauty is a dove sitting on a sunlit bough
Beauty is a prayer without the need of words,
Words are more than sounds, falling off an empty tongue
Let it be according to his word

Refrain

Mary heard the word spoken in her inmost heart
Mary bore the word and held him in her arms
Sorrow she has known seeing him upon the cross
Greater joy to see him rise again

Refrain

Where are we all bound carrying the word of God
Time and place are ours to make his glory known
Mary bore him first, we will tell the whole wide world
Let it be according to his word!

Refrain

here ya go pudding,

For some reason this song popped into my head today, sang it with the school choir 27 years ago and loved it . I really needed to know the lyrics, many thanks.

I learnt this hymn nearly 30 years ago and it still keeps popping in to my head - especially the tune. The music is quite melodic and relaxing to me. Thank you for putting up the lyrics.
