WHENCE TO ME

Whence to me, that the Mother of my Lord
Should come to me?
So, from Elizabeth's humility,
Went forth the word
Before the inviolate Shrine, wherein that day
The mighty Lord of all creation lay.
Whence to us, that our God and Sovran Lord
Should come to us?
Come in His Manhead and His Godhead thus;
Come to accord
On this poor altar, made the loveliest place,
His gift most wonderful, His sweetest grace?
