1 The Word whom earth and sea and sky
adore and laud and magnify,
whose might they show, whose praise they tell,
in Mary's body deigned to dwell.
2 To Mary the archangel came
and God's new message did proclaim,
'Hail, Mary, you shall bear a son
who shall be called the Holy One.'
3 Blest in the message Gabriel brought,
blest in the work the Spirit wrought,
most blest to bring to human birth
the long-desired of all the earth.
4 Lord Jesus, virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit evermore.
