Elijah’s cloak is from Our Lady Fair—
Behind that cloak the prophet hid his face—
And heard the voice that came on Spirit’s air
To speak God’s Word that’s always full of grace.
The Word he heard in whispering sound is Son
Who came from heart of Father to us breathed,
And prophet will not be the only one
To whom our Father’s Spirit is bequeathed.
For Mary’s cloak is there to prophesy
The birth of Father’s Son in Bethlehem,
Who for us all will take His Cross and die
That all may have our life anew in Him.
The prophet’s vict’ry on Carmel was won
To prophesy the rising of God’s Son.
OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL
