Of one that is so fair and bright
G. Holst
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.
