O blessed Virgin, rejoice!
An angelic voice
On the wings of joy
Brings a plea, a choice.
To undo the deed
Of the dark deceit,
Hidden on the tree,
Apple sought by Eve,
Falling unforeseen,
Our ancestral sin
Shall be healed by Thee.
How shall this be?
Light of Life in me?
God in flesh concealed,
Father’s will revealed,
The universe receives
The Son of God, indeed?
How shall this be?
Lord, I beg of Thee,
Hearken unto me!
How shall this be?
On Thy holy hill,
Thy celestial winds,
Life creating springs,
Streams of mystery,
Veiled eternity,
Lord, enlighten me!
How shall this be?
Lo, in the whirlwind
Time has ceased to be,
God’s awaiting Thee,
Holy mystery,
Silence deep within.
Just one word to hear,
Our salvation’s near,
The Virgin’s soul beams,
On her lips appear
Like the streams of Eden:
“Be it unto me!”
