1. 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. | |||
2. Amongst the lilies Thou dost feed, | |||
By Virgin choirs accompanied | |||
With glory decked, the spotless brides | |||
Whose bridal gifts Thy love provides. | |||
3. They, wheresoe'er Thy footsteps bend, | |||
With hymns and praises still attend: | |||
In blessed troops they follow Thee, | |||
With dance, and song, and melody. | |||
4. We pray Thee therefore to bestow | |||
Upon our senses here below | |||
Thy grace, that so we may endure | |||
From taint of all corruption pure. | |||
5. All laud to God the Father be, | |||
All praise, Eternal Son, to Thee | |||
All glory as is ever meet, | |||
To God, the holy Paraclete. | |||
