Immaculate Mary

Our human nature glorified
     In Christ, Emmanuel:
In Mary’s womb Begotten hides
     With her who never fell.

Now Mary’s nature sanctified
     In union with her Son;
By Spirit’s breath her past is tied
     To Resurrected One.

Immaculate she is conceived
     In mother Anna’s womb;
In perfect heart she then receives
     God’s Son—will rise from tomb,

And when He disappears above,
     He draws all to His side.
To His dear Mother gives His love;
     Her body there abides.

Some day we’ll all with Mary be;
     We’ll stand by New Eve’s side,
For there through all eternity
     Our nature glorified.
