The second chorus may be sung on Marian feastdays

Blest, blest be the Father,
God of all creation.
Blest, blessed is He,
Who grants us fulness of life !

Blest, blest are you, Mary,
Blest, by God the Father.
Blest, Mother most Holy,
Queen of heaven and earth !

Verses (choir)

Blest, blest be the Father.
Blest, blest be the Son.
Blest, blest be the Spirit.
Blest be the Three-in-One.

Verses (soloist)

Blest be the God and Father
Of our Lord Jesus Christ
Who has blest us in Christ
With every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.

He chose us in Him
Before the foundation of the world,
That we should be holy
And blameless before Him.

He destined us in Love
To be his sons through Jesus Christ
According to the purpose of his will to the praise of his glorious grace
Which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

In Him we have redemption through his blood,
The forgiveness of our trespasses,
According to the riches of his grace
Which He lavished upon us.

He has made known to us
In all wisdom and insight
The mystery of his will according to his purpose
Which He set forth in Christ.

His purpose He set forth in Christ,
As a plan for the fulness of time,
To unite all things in Him,
Things in heavens and things on earth.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son
And to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
World without end, amen.
