Another liturgical prose in honour of the Mother of Our Lord
Heaven, rejoice! Earth, clap your hands! Let none mute his praise.
Man returns to his ancient state through the Virgin
The Virgin gives birth to God and, as a result, the longstanding strife has its end
Longstanding discord has its end and peace and glory follow.
The guilty arise from the mire, when God lays down in the hay [of the manger].
A lowly stable conceals the fodder of a heavenly meal.
The Virgin feeds the Creator, who, through her, becomes our Redeemer.
Divine wisdom lies hidden underneath his childish appearance
The mother’s breasts pour out milk, the flesh of the Son pours milk
And this grants the sweetness of grace by assuming humanity
Therefore we sing a sweet melody, O Mary,
With pious voices and our expressed emotions
Hail, blessed Virgin! You who have put to flight all that is evil
Hail, Mother on High, Wife of the softest lamb.
You have triumphed over the serpent, whose head you crushed
When God was born of you, it was his death.
You, Empress of the Heavens, You, the healer of the Earth
Whom men long for, whom evil demons fear
You, the window, the door, the fleece, the palace, the home, the temple, the field
The lily of virginity and the rose of martyrdom
The walled garden, the font of gardens washing the dirt of sinners
Purifying the iniquitous and giving life to the dead
Liege Lady of the Angels; after God, the hope of the world
Throne of a king and seat of a Diety
Shining Star of the East, who puts to flight shadows in the West
Aurora, who proceeds the son, and Day who never knows night
O You! Parent of our parent and Mother to he who gives birth to us
With the courage of a pious mother, unite your children to the Father
Pray, O Mother, to the God born man that he forgive our sins
And after having given us his pardon, that he grants us his Grace and Glory.
Amen.
