AIL, virginal  Mother! Hail, purity's  Cell! Fair  Shrine,   where  the Trinity Loveth to  dwell!

Hail, Garden  of  pleasure! Celestial Balm! Cedar of  chastity! Martyrdom's Palm!

Thou Land  set  apart From uses  profane! And free  from  the  curse Which in  Adam  began.

Thou City  of  God! Thou gate  of  the  East, In thee  is  all  grace, O joy  of  the  blest!

Amen.

V. As  the  lily  among the thorns.

R. So  is  my  beloved among the  daughters  of Adam.

V. O  Lady,  aid,  etc. (with  the  prayer  as  above).

V. O  Lady,  make  speed, etc.
