Gertrude von le Fort CHRISTMAS Your voice speaks: Little child out of Eternity, now will I sing to thy mother! The song shall be fair as dawn-tinted snow. Rejoice Mary Virgin, daughter of my earth, sister of my soul, rejoice, O joy of my joy! I am as one who wanders through the night, but you are a house under stars. I am a thirsty cup, but you are God's open sea. Rejoice Mary Virgin, blessed are those who call you blessed, never more shall child of man lose hope. I am one love for all, I shall never cease from saying: one of you has been exalted by the Lord. Rejoice Mary Virgin, wings of my earth, crown of my soul, rejoice joy of my joy! Blessed are those who call you blessed. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright © 1996 Catholic Information Network (CIN) - December 19, 1996 ------------------------------------------------------- Provided courtesy of: Eternal Word Television Network PO Box 3610 Manassas, VA 22110 Voice: 703-791-2576 Fax: 703-791-4250 Web: http://www.ewtn.com Email address: sysop@ewtn.com -------------------------------------------------------
