"A Sword Will Pierce" is a poignant Marian hymn that brings to life Simeon’s prophecy in the temple, reflecting the sorrow and steadfast love of a mother who knows her child is destined for the cross. Told in Mary’s own voice, the text moves from cradle to Calvary with haunting honesty and deep faith. With its minor-key lament and choir-driven chorus, this piece is ideal for Lenten liturgies, Holy Week, Marian devotions, and concerts that call for profound emotional depth and theological resonance. Scored for a Female voice solo with Piano accompaniment. An accompaniment track and a rehearsal track are also available. Sheet music is available on sheetmusicplus.com, musicnotes.com, musicaneo.com and jwpepper.com
