A Joyful Realisation Behind the Words of the Magnificat

Then She never could have been in transgression

Since never of the serpent She was slave

She was always the foe of the old dragon

The Virgin of the House of King Dave

The Virgin of the House of King Dave!

Did the angel mean then "thou slaydest

Holophernem or Siseram?"

"Not so," told Her cousin, Mrs. Cohen:

"Ye slayed the old slayer of Adam

Ye set things right for Eve and for Adam!"

And even if She already knew it,

Confirmation of good news comes well

If you know it in your heart, really know it

You still would like someone else to tell,

You still would like someone else to tell!

Some recall "she said yes" of a martyr

Who maybe was Cassie Bernall

But the yes of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Is the blessedest yes of them all,

Is the blessedest yes of them all.
