SPECULUM AMORIS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: MY GOD THE BABY IS
Last Line: THE MIRROR OF DIVINITY.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

My God the Baby is
That rests upon my knee.
Into those eyes of His
I gaze mine own to see.
And He looks up to meet in mine
Reflected all the love Divine.

A Maid my mother is,
And I a sireless Son.
No other deed like this
Has Love eternal done --
To make here motherhood for Me
The mirror of Divinity.
