God Whom Earth, And Sea, And Sky, The

The God Whom earth, and sea, and sky,

Adore, and laud, and magnify,

Who o'er their threefold fabric reigns,

The virgin's spotless womb contains.

The God Whose will by moon and sun

And all things in due course is done,

Is borne upon a maiden's breast,

By fullest heavenly grace possest.

How blest the mother, in whose shrine

The great Artificer Divine,

Whose hand contains the earth and sky,

Vouchsafed, as in His ark, to lie!

Blest, in the message Gabriel brought;

Blest, by the work the Spirit wrought:

From whom the Great Desire of earth

Took human flesh and human birth.

All honor, laud, and glory be,

O Jesu, virgin-born, to Thee!

All glory, as is ever meet,

To Father and to Paraclete.
