1
Christina the astonishing
2
Lived a long time ago
3
She was stricken with a seizure
4
At the age of twenty-two
5
They took her body in a coffin
6
To a tiny church in liege
7
Where she sprang up from the coffin
8
Just after the agnus dei
9
She soared up to the rafters
10
Perched on a beam up there
11
Cried 'the stink of human sin
12
Is more that I can bear'
13
Christina the astonishing
14
Was the most astonishing of all
15
She prayed balanced on a hurdle
16
Or curled up into a ball
17
She fled to remote places
18
Climbed towers and trees and walls
19
To escape the stench of human corruption
20
Into an oven she did crawl
21
O christina the astonishing
22
Behaved in a terrifying way
23
She would run wildly through the streets
24
Jump in the meusse and swim away
25
O christina the astonishing
26
Behaved in terrifying manner
27
Died at the age of seventy-four
28
In the convent of st anna
