The blue mantle covers her
The exalted daughter of Zion
Free from the stain of sin
The virgin to conceive Emmanuel.
The blue mantle adorns her
The mother of the messianic king
The Lord God incarnate within her
The fruit of her own womb.
The blue veil flows around her
The one who put an end to the waiting
The King of Israel is now in the midst
A fulfillment through her to the chosen race.
The blue cape attires her
The Virgin of the Covenant
God living with his people on earth
A joy foretold by prophecy.
The blue wrap secures her
An extraordinary role performed
The peak of God’s promise reached
His coming in time now sealed once and for all.
