MARY by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: MAID-MOTHER OF HUMANITY DIVINE
Last Line: OF GRACE THE SOLE IMMACULATE DESIGN!
Subject(s): MARY. MOTHER OF JESUS; WOMEN - BIBLE; VIRGIN MARY;

Maid-Mother of humanity divine,
Alone Thou art in thy supremacy,
Since God Himself did reverence to thee
And built of flesh a temple one with thine,
Wherein, through all eternity, to shrine
His inexpressive glory. Blessed be
The miracle of thy maternity,
Of grace the sole immaculate design!
