Doubling their joys and calming all their fears.
Her faithfulness to grace divine how great!
In the early time as when the goal she nears,
As the Lord’s handmaid, or in queenly state,
Content on his command expectantly to wait.
II.
Luke i. 43.
Bride of the Holy One! of all his grace,
At the beginning, full! God’s Mother blest!
Hope of the world, the glory of her race!
