Earth Is Restored

You show us earth is not a waste
     When Your Son comes to us,
For it was meant to be a space
     Where goodness lives in trust.

Then beauty, goodness were betrayed
     When Adam made his choice
And from earth’s goodness with Eve strayed;
     They heeded Devil’s voice. 

But now our voice through Mary comes,
     And she says “Yes” to You;
With sin not present she becomes
     The first who’s made anew.

She gives her nature to her Son
     Through whom she is redeemed–
The first from human race He won,
     Saved from the Devil’s scheme.

The first to know earth is restored
     By Son who’s of her born,
For of new earth He is the Lord
     And reigns on Christmas morn.
