B
The glad worlds blessed maid!
Whose beauty tyed life to thy house,
And brought us saving ayd.
God is made our Allie,
And mans inferior Essence he
With his did dignifie.
We are his body grown,
Nourished with favors from his hand
Whom for our head we own.
What life, what death can sever?
Which us in him, and him in us
United keeps for ever.
