Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Of one that is so fair and bright

Velut maris stella

Brighter than the day is light

Parens et puella

I cry to thee, thou see to me

Lady, pray thy Son for me

Tam pia

That I may come to thee

Maria

[Verse 2]

All this world was forlorn

Eva peccatrice

Till our Lord was y-bore

De te genetrice

With ave it went away

Darkness night and comes the day

Salutis

The well springeth out of thee

Virtutis

[Verse 3]

Lady, flow'r of everything

Rosa sine spina

Thou bear Jesu, Heaven's King

Gratia divina

Of all thou bear'st the prize

Lady, Queen of Paradise

Electa

Maid mild, mother

Es Effecta

Effecta
