The God Whom Earth and Sea and Sky
Eisenach, LM Text: Quem terra, pontus aethera
1.
The God whom earth and sea and sky
Adore and praise and magnify,
Whose might they claim, whose love they tell,
In Mary’s body comes to dwell.
2.
O Mother blest! They chose shrine
Wherein the architect divine,
Whose hand contains thy earth and sky,
Hs come in human form to lie.
3.
Blest in the message Gabriel brought,
Blest in the work the Spirit wrought;
Most blest, to bring to human birth
The long desired of all the earth.
4.
O lord, the Virgin born to you,
Eternal praise and laud are due,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Spirit blest for ever more.
