On the Annuncation of the Blessed Virgin Lyrics by James MacMillan

0

A winged harbinger, from bright heav'n flown
Bespeaks a lodging room
For the mighty King of love
The spotless structure of a virgin womb
O'ershadow'd with the wings of the blest dove:
For he was travelling to earth
But did desire to lay by the way
That he might shift his clothes, and be
A perfect man, as well as we
How good a God have we, who, for our sake
To save us from the burning lake
Did change the order of creation;
At first He made
Man like himself in His own imagе;
Now in the more blessеd reparation
The heavens bow:
Eternity took the measure of a span
And said
"Let us like ourselves make man
And not from man the woman take
But from the woman, man."
Allelujah! We adore his name
Whose goodness hath no store
Allelujah!
