O bride of our Lord Jesus Christ,
in your virginity
and in your dying
you have given yourself
entirely
to the Lord of Heaven and earth.
O how like Him you were
in your purity
and in your suffering!
and so how close to Him
you must be
in Heaven –
pray that a ray of His light
might come to us
who sit in darkness,
we whose hearts
are not as strong
as your own.
His heavenly light
we wish to enter;
by your prayers
may we see
His glory.
