Adore and praise and magnify,
Whose might they claim, whose love they tell,
In Mary's body comes to dwell.
2 O Mother blest! the chosen shrine
Wherein the architect divine,
Whose hand contains the earth and sky,
Has come in human form to lie:
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 O Lord the Virgin-born, to you
Eternal praise and lays are due,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Spirit blest for evermore. Scripture: Malachi 3:1 Used With Tune: EISENACH
The God Whom Earth and Sea and Sky
