Flow’r of Carmel,
Vine richly blossoming,
Splend’r of Heaven,
Virgin yet child-bearing,
Like no other.

Gentle Mother,
Unknown of any man,
To thy children
Grant holy privilege,
Star of ocean.

Root of Jesse,
Springing forth flow’ret fair,
Here to stand, now
Let me thy servant be
As it please thee !

Thorn-encircled
Lily, who flourishest,
Keep pure likewise
Minds of fragility,
Kind protector !

Thou, the armour
Steadfast of warriors,
Wars rage wildly,
Tender the patronage
Of thy mantle !

Through times doubtful
Counsel most provident,
Through life’s trials
Solace perpetual,
Mayst thou grant us.
