2. Hail, Mary, full of grace
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
Mother in virginity.
Mother in virginity.
[1]
The holy Ghost is to thee sentFrom the Father omnipotent;
Now is God within thee went,
When the angel said Ave.
2
When the angel Ave began,Flesh and blood together ran;
Mary bore both God and man
Through virtue and through dignity.
3
So saith the gospel of Saint John:God and man is made but one,
In flesh and blood, body and bone,
One God in personës three.
4
And the prophet JeremyTold in his prophecy
That the Son of Mary
Should die for us on roodë-tree.
5
Muchë joy to us was grantAnd in earthë peace y-plant,
When that born was this 'fant
In the land of Galilee.
6
Mary, grant us the bliss,There thy Sonnës woning is;
Of that we han done amiss
Pray for us pour charité.
Amen.
