1 Virgin-born, we bow before you:
Blessed was the womb that bore you:
Mary, Mother meek and mild,
Blessed was she in her child.
Blessed was the breast that fed you;
Blessed was the hand that led you;
Blessed was the mother's eye,
Watching o'er your infancy.
2 Blessed she by all creation,
Who brought forth the world's salvation.
Blessed they who, ever blest,
Love you most and serve you best.
Virgin-born, we bow before you:
Blessed was the womb that bore you;
Mary, Mother meek and mild,
Blessed was she in her Child.
