Quem terra pontus sidera

The Lord, whom earth, and sea, and sky,
With one adoring voice proclaim;
Who rules them all in majesty;
Enclos’d Himself in Mary’s frame.

Lo! in a humble Virgin’s womb,
O’ershadowed by Almighty power;
He whom the stars, and sun, and moon,
Each serve in their appointed hour.

O Mother blest! to whom was given
Within thy body to contain
The Architect of earth and Heaven,
Whose hands the universe sustain:

To thee was sent an Angel down;
In thee the Spirit was enshrin’d;
Of thee was born that Mighty One,
The long-desir’d of all mankind.

O Jesu! born of Virgin bright,
Immortal glory be to Thee;
Praise to the Father infinite,
And Holy Ghost eternally.
