Mary the Dawn, Christ the Perfect Day;
Mary the Gate, Christ the Perfect Way!
Mary the Root, Christ the Mystic Vine;
Mary the Grape, Christ the Sacred Wine.
Mary the Wheat Sheaf, Christ the Living Bread;
Mary the Rose Tree, Christ the Rose blood-red.
Mary the Font, Christ, the Cleansing Flood;
Mary the Chalice, Christ, the Saving Blood!
Mary the Temple, Christ the Temple’s Lord;
Mary the Shrine, Christ the God adored.
Mary the Beacon, Christ the Haven’s Rest;
Mary the Mirror, Christ the Vision Blest!
Mary the Mother, Christ the Mother’s Son.
Both ever blest while endless ages run. Amen.
