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.
