    Jesu, coróna Vírginum,

    Quem Mater illa cóncipit

    Quæ sola Virgo párturit,

    Hæc vota clemens áccipe:


    Qui pascis inter lília

    Septus choréis Vírginum,

    Sponsus decórus glória

    Sponsísque reddens prǽmia.


    Quocúmque pergis, Vírgines

    Sequúntur, atque láudibus

    Post te canéntes cúrsitant,

    Hymnósque dulces pérsonant;


    Te deprecámur lárgius,

    Nostris adáuge sénsibus

    Nescíre prorsus ómnia

    Corruptiónis vúlnera.


    Laus, honor, virtus, glória

    Deo Patri et Fílio,

    Sancto simul Paráclito,

    In sæculórum sǽcula. Amen.

    Jesu, the virgins' crown, do thou

    Accept us as in prayer we bow;

    Born of that Virgin, whom alone

    The mother and the maid we own.


    Amongst the lilies thou dost feed,

    By virgin choirs accompanied;

    With glory decked, the spotless brides

    Whose bridal gifts thy love provides.


    They, wheresoe'er thy footsteps bend,

    With hymns and praises still attend:

    In blessèd troops they follow thee,

    With dance, and song, and melody.


    We pray thee therefore to bestow

    Upon our senses here below

    Thy grace, that so we may endure

    From taint of all corruption pure.


    All laud to God the Father be,

    All praise, eternal Son, to thee;

    All glory as is ever meet,

    To God, the holy Paraclete. Amen.
