thy sacred house thou broughtest, Holy Mother, when thou soughtest To dispense thy heavenly grace. Nazareth thy birth illuméd, But Tersanctum thee assuméd Seeking for a resting place.

Here thy house no more resideth, But thy presence still abideth, Queen of heavenly mercy fair. O! may grateful love possess us, That thou still dost deign to bless us With thy fond maternal care.

honours crown the morning, The Conception for adorning Of the blesséd Queen of Heaven. Virgin Mother she's created, And conceived and generated, Vein of grace to man forgiven.
