Of all women

Of all women 
You are the most blessed
You who fed the Heavenly Manna 
From your breast 
Your immaculate food
God did digest
As in your arms the Creator
Did lay his head to rest 

Oh blessed Mother Mary
So full of grace
You taught Him who is Eternal Wisdom
To one day face
Death upon a cross
As you did crush the head
Of the wicked serpent
As the price was paid 

You were there beloved Mother
At that tree
The blessed New Eve
Saying yes to set men free
As you gave up your will
And watched your only son die
One with the Father
As the Spirt did cry 

It is finished 
Oh beloved spouse
Enthroned are you forever
In the Fathers house
More honourable than the Cherubim
And more glorious beyond compare
Than the Holy Seraphim
Because God you did bare
