1 The God whom earth and sea and sky
Adore and praise and magnify,
Whose might they claim, whose love they tell,
In Mary's body comes to dwell.

2 O Mother blest, the chosen shrine
Wherein the architect divine,
Whose hand contains the earth and sky,
Has come in human flesh to lie!

3 Blest in the message Gabriel brought;
Blest by the work the Spirit wrought;
Most blest, to bring to human birth
The long desired of all the earth.

4 O Lord, the Virgin-born, to you
Eternal praise and laud are due,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Spirit evermore.
