Jesus, 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, with virgin choirs accompanied-- with glory decked, the spotless brides whose bridal gifts thy love provides. They, wheresoe'er thy footsteps bend, with hymns and prayers still attend; in bless??d 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.
