¶Lyrics / Text

Of one that is so fair and bright, Velut maris stella Brighter than the day is light; Parens et puella. I cry to thee, O turn to me, Lady, pray thy Son for me Tam pia That I may come to thee Maria. In sorrow, counsel thou art best, Felix fecundata. For the weary thou art rest, Mater honorata. Thy darling Son with prayers now flood, Who for us did shed His blood In Cruce That we may come to Him In luce. His whole creation was forlorn, Eva peccatrice: till our Saviour Lord was born de te genetrice: with thy "Ave" sin fled away, darkest night gave way to day salutis. The well of healing sprang from thee, virtutis. Dear Lady, flow’r of ev’rything, Rosa sine spina, Thou bore Jesus Heaven’s King, Gratia Divina, Of all our race, thou bore the prize Lady, Queen of Paradise Electa, Mild Maid, a Mother Es effecta.
