33. Hail, Goddës Son
Hail, Goddës Son in Trinity,
The second in divinity,
Thy mother is amay.
The second in divinity,
Thy mother is amay.
[1]
Lo, Moises bush shining unbrent,The flowres fair God there present;
Our Lady with child it be meant,
As prophets said in their lay.
2
This is Gideonës wool-fell,On whom the dew of heaven did dwell;
The dew of heaven on Mary fell
When she conceivëd Adonay.
3
Aaronës rod without liquorBy marvel bare both fruit and flower;
So God and man, our Saviour,
A cleanë maid hath borne this day.
4
This Jacobës star with shining lemeThat Balaam saw in Balak's reme
Figureth Mary, that in Bethlem
Bare Jesu and laid in hay.
5
But God bewrayed by fair figureHis virginal progeniture.
Now Mary's Son have us in cure,
And grant us bliss that lasteth ay.
