Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-600; Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #746 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: CPWI Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Glorious maid, exalted far
beyond the light of burning star,
from him who made thee thou hast won
grace to be mother of his Son.
2 That which was lost in hapless Eve
thy holy offspring did retrieve:
the tear-worn sons of Adam's race
through thee have seen the heavenly place.
3 Thou wast the gate of heaven's high Lord,
the door through which the light hath poured.
Christians, rejoice, for through a maid
to all mankind is life conveyed.
4 O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit, evermore. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days The Blessed Virgin Mary Languages: English Tune Title: IVYHATCH
