Our Mother’s Dawn

As Mother of our new life’s dawn,
     Come, roll our dark away;
Your “yes” says to our fear, “Begone,”
     For your Son brings the day—

Through you the Holy Spirit blows
     And ignorance dispels;
His wisdom shines through you to show
     He’s broken Satan’s spell—

For your Son’s “yes” in Garden here
     Was given back to you
In offer made for you to bear
     Himself and all us too—

Now you’re the Mother of all life
     That through Him now is born,
As in your “yes” shines His new light
    From Resurrection Morn!
