Double Feast, double Pleasure! 
Hail of Mary highest Treasure! 
For, purified come to be, 
Pure Son of God presented she. 

Light the tapers, light the torch 
Round the altar, on the porch! 
Call the feast with lights ablaze, 
Christ the Light of Light to praise! 

Sing to Mary, chant alay; 
Hymn her lady of the day! 
Angel hailed for her love, 
Humble maid yet blest above. 

Bless Lord Jesus, hail Him King! 
Jew and Gentile all men bring 
Tidings that the Son is here, 
God to man as Man drawn near! 

Take the doves, redeem the Child; 
Cleanse the maiden undefiled! 
Hear the Spirit speaking true! 
Hear Him, Simeon, Anna, too! 

Sing Hail Mary, blessed maid; 
Praise Lord Christ, on her breast laid! 
Down with sin! the battle's won, 
Thanks for aye to Mary's Son!
