 Nazarites of ancient story,

They the Cross's wars and glory

To the listening world relate:

Thus the Word of adorning,

Night to night, to morning morning,

"Speech and knowledge" indicate.

They, earth's furthest limits reaching,

most easy burden preaching,

Propagate the Word of Life:

Earth returns her cultured treasure,

And in more abundant measure

With the -Man's faith is rife.

Paranymphs of new graces,

To the New King's dear embraces

They conduct the Royal Bride:

Spotless, blemishless, eternal,

She, the dread of powers infernal,

Ever Virgin must abide.

Ever Virgin, ever bearing,

Youth and age for ever sharing,

From defeat and error free;

This her bed, truth held sincerely;

This her birth, faith treasured dearly:

Grace her dowry endlessly.
