Luke 1 39-45


Having got ready,
Mary, in those days
went to the hill country
with haste
to a town of Judah,
and she went
to the house of Zechariah,
and greeted Elizabeth.

And it came to pass
as Elzabeth heard Mary’s greeting
the baby moved in her womb,
and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
and she exclaimed with a great cry,
and said:
‘Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And why me, why this?
that the mother of my Lord has come to me?
For, look
as the sound of your greeting came to my ears,
the baby in my womb
moved with joy.
And blessed is she who has believed
that there would be fulfilment
of the things spoken to her
by the Lord.

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art –
Thou my best thought, by day or by night;
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
