Saints! the glorious Mother greeting, Keep the feast in glad array; And with glowing hearts entreating For the grace devoutly pray, Which Elizabeth, in meeting With her cousin, found to-day. 2. Fruitful parent! she that seeming Childless and age-stricken one Visits, who in secret teeming With her own prophetic son Greets her; for in our redeeming Is their fellowship begun. 3. Lo! that Voice, yet mute, exulteth As the Mighty Word draws nigh; And Elizabeth confesseth All that matron's dignity Whom she passing blest declareth In her Fruit eternally. 4. "What can this congratulation," Meek she asks, "forbode to me? What this gracious salutation Of the King's own Mother be? And the unwonted exultation Of mine unborn progeny?" 5. Then the Virgin so commended Uttered forth a song of praise; And her psalm of triumph changed For the love of this sweet grace, So herself pronouncing blessed Thenceforth to the end of days. 6. Triune God! Supreme and gracious, Everlasting is Thy reign; Grand the Virgin's intercession May for us Thy help obtain; That when this brief life is ended Life eternal we may gain!
