Of one that is so fair and bright
Language: English
Of one that is so fair and bright, Velut maris stella Brighter than the day is light; Parens et puella. I cry to thee to 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 all the weary thou art rest, Mater honorata Beseech him in thy mildest mood, Who for us did shed His blood In Cruce That we may come to Him In luce. Lady, flow'r of ev'rything, Rosa sine spina, Thou bore Jesus Heaven's King, Gratia Divina, Of all I say thou bore the prize Lady, Queen of Paradise Electa, Maiden mild, Mother Es effecta.
