PARAPHRASE

1. Remember, O Creator Lord,
   that in the Virgin’s sacred womb
   Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh
   didst our mortality assume.
   
2. Mother of grace, O Mary blest,
   to thee, sweet fount of love, we fly;
   shield us through life, and take us hence
   to thy dear bosom when we die.
   
3. O Jesu! born of Mary bright!
   Immortal glory be to Thee;
   praise to the Father infinite,
   and Holy Ghost eternally.
