Hope of life for all the earth!

Now we sing God’s new creation

On this day of such a birth.

+

Virgin, thou art filled with beauty;

Spot and stain are not in thee.

God has made thee perfect duly

For thy Son’s divinity.

+

Cry, 0 Blessed, to high heaven;

Sing our praise, 0 Spotless One!

We, thy children, are forgiven

Through thy Maker, Lord, and Son.

+

God has looked on thee with favor;

Generations this acclaim.

We rejoice in God thy Savior,

For with thee we praise his Name.
