1. There was of old in Jewish land,
A glorious temple piled;
And there a Virgin-Mother came,
And brought her first-born Child.
2. While many a richer mother there
Perchance went proudly by:
And brought the dove to bear her sin,
The Lamb to purify.
3. Dear Lamb, make all our offerings
Acceptable by Thine:
We, too, in our baptismal hour
Were offered at Thy shrine.
4. Give us a pure and holy heart;
Make us to love Thee more;
That we may all be Thine on earth,
And Thine when life is o'er.
