o virgin all lovely

o virgin all lovely,
o mother all gracious,
o daughter of god.
o star brightly shining,
o rose sweetly fragrant,
o lily pure.

(refrain)

joyous we praise thee,
virgin all lovely, o daughter of god.
o dwelling of glory,
thou whiter than iv'ry,
o house all of gold.
the word there resideth;
thy god thou adorest
in joyous love.

(refrain)

joyous we praise thee,
virgin all lovely, o daughter of god.
o virgin all holy,
thy soul filled with graces,
o mother of god.
be near us in danger;
to us make propitious
thy son, our judge.

(refrain)

joyous we praise thee,
virgin all lovely, o daughter of god.
