In Her Lord His Church Rejoices

Author: Adam of St. Victor, 12th Century; J. M.H. Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10681 Meter: 8.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 In her Lord His Church rejoices, Whom the host of heavenly voices Welcome to His earthly throne: Peace from Heav’n their song reciteth, Earth to Heav’n it reuniteth, Church with angels now are one. 2 To the flesh the Word is chainèd As it had been fore-ordainèd: Unapproached by mortal man, Bears a virgin God’s own Temple, Nor exemplar nor exemple, Having since the worlds began. 3 ’Tis a marvel past discerning, That the bush with fire is burning, Yet the bush it not consumes; Dews the skies give, mists the mountains, Melt the clouds, the hills are fountains, And the Root of Jesse blooms. 4 From the Root the Flower upgroweth, As the oracle foreshoweth Filling the rapt seer with joy: Jesse’s Root was David’s pattern, So the Rod the Virgin matern, And its flower her heavenly Boy. 5 Where is gladness more abounding? Where the plummet deep for sounding Such abysmal mystery? Here is theme for endless wonder; Saints and angels, praising, ponder— God an infant deigns to be! 6 Every charm the Flower attendeth: It to inner sense commendeth Seven-fold grace’s rich perfume: Let us in this Flower delight us, To the feast which doth invite us With its fair and fragrant bloom. 7 Jesu, Branch that shall not wither, May the day which brought Thee hither, Bring Thy people joy and peace: Flower and fruit of virgin culture, Vital in Thy brief sepulture, Never shall Thy praises cease.
