1 Virgin-born, we bow before thee;
blessèd was the womb that bore thee;
Mary, maid and mother mild,
blessèd was she in her Child.

2 Blessèd was the breast that fed thee;
blessèd was the hand that led thee;
blessèd was the parent's eye
that watched thy slumbering infancy.

3 Blessèd she by all creation,
who brought forth the world's Salvation,
blessèd they – for ever blest,
who love thee most and serve thee best.

4 Virgin-born, we bow before thee;
blessèd was the womb that bore thee;
Mary, maid and mother mild,
blessèd was she in her Child.
