Maiden purest! Maiden rarest !
Help of earth and joy of Heaven !

Blissful Mother! blissful Maiden !

To hold that God could stoop so low,
Or love his sinful creatures so.

  Mother dearest ! Mother fairest !
  Maiden purest! Maiden rarest!
  Help of earth and joy of Heaven!
  Love and praise to thee be given,
  Blissful Mother! blissful Maiden!

And thou hast knelt as we have knelt ;
And so it is, that utterly,
Mother of God, we trust in thee.

Mother dearest! Mother fairest!
Maiden purest! Maiden rarest!
Help of earth and joy of Heaven!
Love and praise to thee be given.
Blissful Mother! blissful Maiden!
