Our Eternal Mother

Our Mother Mary prays above
     And on the earth below,
Holds all in mother’s arms of love
    So all her Son will know–

Know He’s His Father’s only Son,
     Begotten ‘fore all time,
Was present at creation’s dawn;
     In her He wove His vine–

His vine is warp and woof of life,
     All branches are His own.
Our sin He prunes with cross’ knife
     To free who He has sown–

Has sown us all through Mary’s yes
     Foreseen in Mother Eve–
Becomes through Mary, welcomed guest,
     To Eve’s great grief relieved–

Saved in His Mother made the Queen
     of Eden, raised, made new.
At His right hand she with Him reigns:
     First fruit New Eden grew–

Grew her on earth to consort be
     Of Son who came below–
Queen Mother for eternity:
     Their love we all can know.
