To her I gaze, her face I behold
Through the hills of Judea it’s told
The path neither of maze nor daze
Of hers humans find the smooth Grace terrace
Of the plan the Triune bear
Eternity ever for humans prepare
The way to the Divine
O human of you Grace design
O Lady of nature behold, of picture deign
Not in the mind’s design
But in the soul inspire
Spotless, better than the canvass design
Speechless her beauty belongs
Hers the best of women embodies
So gentle yet so strong
Soft spoken yet eternally glory trump
So who would imagine
To whom hers’ bridging
That of this teen came
The world-maker say ma’am
The Virgin bearing the Son
Baby being the purest for the Son
Grace God intends, Grace God gave
Birth to birth humanity fallen save
By Anne’s joy no seal can contain
Joachim’s thrill no wealth could maintain
To see the baby girl cry,
World for her cry become of high
Wrapped in swaddling clothes
Nazareth rejoices and Jerusalem of joy amaze
In time has God’s promise been seen
In time, no long but seen
Imagine that Virgin who to the world Mom be
To that Queen who to the desolate world hope be
To that Blessed who of Eve’s Children redeeming
To the Immaculate of whose gift the world pure saving
To Mary Mom and Queen
To thee, your children smile and keen
For with thee God is man born
For with thee, hope for all is dawn
Faithfully in love for thee, in love for thy son
Me to thee, heart be bond and on
In thy Son wrapped my hope, fire of love ever ignite
In the Father and the Holy Spirit, my life with thee unite
In heaven to thee I say
As on earth now I pray
One day with thee to your ear me whisper
Finally I see your face, and your Son happy ever.
Beautifully composed. Thanks for sharing Father. Do keep me and my family in prayer. Thank you.
