Testify Elizabeth
to the Son of God
in the womb of the virgin
your cousin before you
Testify to the light, coming into the world
the incarnate God, growing within her
his harbinger within you
soon to be born, to be named
his life prophesized
to be the one in the desert
in the wilderness,
Oh, testify Elizabeth
to the coming of Christ
