From today's Hymn of the Day

Here a Maid was found with Child,
Yet remained a Virgin mild.
In her womb this truth was shown:
God was there upon His throne.
LSB 332:3

    He did not spurn the Virgin's womb. Amen!

    Or you can sing it as John Mason Neale translated Ambrose's words from Veni, Redemptor gentium:

    The virgin womb that burden gained
    With virgin honour all unstained;
    The banners there of virtue glow;
    God in His temple dwells below.
    ("Come, Thou Redeemer of the Earth", st. 3)
