And, to his glory, year by year, thy joy and honour tell? 2 Bound with the curse of sin and shame we helpless sinners lay, until in tender love he came to bear the curse away. 3 And thee he chose from whom to take true flesh his flesh to be; in it to suffer for our sake, by it to make us free. 4 Thy Babe he lay upon thy breast, to thee he cried for food; thy gentle nursing soothed to rest th'Incarnate Son of God. 5 O wondrous depth of love divine, that he should bend so low! And, Mary, oh, what joy was thine in his dear love to know; 6 joy to be mother of the Lord, and thine the truer bliss, in every thought, and deed, and word to be for ever his. 7 And as he loves thee, mother dear, we too will love thee well; and, to his glory, year by year, thy joy and honour tell. 8 Jesu, the virgin's holy Son, we praise thee and adore, who art with God the Father One and Spirit evermore.
