lyrics

Of one that is so fair and bright,
Velut maris stella,
Brighter than the day is light,
Parens et puella,
I cry to thee through grace of thee, Lady, pray thy son for me,
Tam pia,
That I might come near to thee,
Maria.
Lady, flower of every thing,
Rosa sine spina,
Thou bore Jesu, heaven’s king,
Gratia divina.
Of all maids thou bearest the prize, Lady, queen of Paradise
Electa,
Maiden mild and mother is
Effecta.
Of care and sorrow thou art best,
Felix fecundata,
To all the weary thou art rest,
Mater honorata.
Pray to him with gentle mood That for us all did shed his blood
In cruce,
That we might come near to him
In luce.
All this world it was forlorn
Eva peccatrice,
Till our Saviour he was born
Ex te genetrice;
With “Ave” it went away
Banished night and cometh the day
Salutis.
The well it springeth out of thee
Virtutis.
Well thou knowest he is thy son
Ventre quem portasti;
He will not deny thee thy prayer,
Parvum quem lactasti.
So gracious and so good he is, He hath brought us to his bliss
Superni,
And hath saved us from the abyss
Inferni.
