Bid the Virtues

Language: English

Our translations: DUT

Bid the Virtues, bid the Graces 
To the sacred shrine repair, 
Round the altar take their places, 
Blessing with returns of pray'r 
Their great Defender's care 
While Maria's royal zeal 
Best instructs you how to pray 
Hourly from her own 
Conversing with th'Eternal Throne.

Beveelt de deugden

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the English

Beveelt de deugden, gelast genade
Begeeft u naar het heiligdom
Rond het altaar op uw plaatsen
Zegenend steeds met gebeden
De zorg van hun grote verdediger.
Terwijl Maria's koninklijke gloed
Het best leert hoe u bidden moet
Dit zelf elk uur toont
Sprekend met de Eeuwige Troon.
