You are the glory of Jerusalem, the surpassing joy of Israel! You are the splendid boast of our people! (Judith 15:9)
Holy light on earth’s horizon, Star of hope to those who fall, Light amid a world of shadows, Dawn of God’s design for all, Chosen from eternal ages, You alone of all our race, By your Son’s atoning merits Were conceived in perfect grace. + Mother of the world’s Redeemer, Promised from the dawn of time: How could one so highly favored Share the guilt of Adam’s crime? Sun and moon and stars adorn you, Sinless Eve, triumphant sign; You it is who crushed the serpent, Mary, pledge of life divine. + Earth below and highest heaven, Praise the splendor of your state, You who now are crowned in glory Were conceived immaculate. Hail, beloved of the Father, Mother of his only Son, Mystic bride of Love eternal, Hail, O fair and spotless one! |
