Our Nature Divinized 

One moon-lit night in Galilee
In sleepy village, Nazareth,
A maiden young awaked to see
An angel came on Spirit’s breath.

Was Gabriel from our Father sent
To speak to her His one request
That she give to Him her consent
To let His Son in her womb rest.

She speaks her “Yes” and then occurs
The union that creation saves:
Our nature divinized in her
To save from Adam’s sin and grave.

For union that takes place that night
Will close the gap ‘tween heaven, earth,
And bring to our world heaven’s light,
As in that light comes heaven’s truth.

In her we see our destiny
As Jesus comes to live in us,
From death and sin to set us free
When we with her give Him our trust.
