And when you rise early from your bed

And when you rise early from your bed,

You banish every cloud form the sky,

You lure the sun onto those hills,

And angels compete to

Bring your shoes and clothes.

Then, when you go out to Holy Mass,

You draw everyone along with you,

And when you near the blessed place,

Your gaze lights up the lamps.

You take holy water, make the sign of the cross

And moisten your white brow,

And you bow and bend the knee -

Oh, how beautifully it all becomes you!

How sweetly, blessedly has God endowed you,

Who have received the crown of beauty.

How sweetly, blessedly you walk through life;

The palm of beauty was bestowed on you.
