Betrothed to the carpenter Joseph

You became the mother of God.

You found favour with him

Full of grace, the Lord is with you.

Praised mother of David’s son

Holy mother of Jesus, the Lord.

Blessed is the fruit of you womb

You are praised by all generation

5. God’s spirit came up on you

In you the world became flesh

Through your grace,

He dwells among us.

Angels song Glory to God.

On earth peace, to men of good will.

Your Son you bore in a manger

Angels song Glory to God.

On earth peace, to men of good will.

Was acclaimed in joy by the shepherds

And you marveled at your wondrous child.

You brought him up to the Temple

You brought joy to Simeon’s old age.

Virgin and daughter of Zion.

Joy and glory of God’s holy people.

Glorious mother of the Apostles

Queen and mother of all generations.

With the moon under your feet.

On your head a crown of twelve stars.
