Lilium

Latin

Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam
Et lingua eius loquetur iudicium (Psalms 36:30)
Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem
Quoniam cum probatus fuerit accipiet coronam vitae (James 1:12)
[Kyrie, fons bonitatis]
Kyrie, Ignis Divine, Eleison
[O quam sancta, quam serena, quam benigna
Quam amoena esse virgo creditur.]
O quam sancta, quam serena, quam benigna
Quam amoena O castitatis lilium

Translation

The mouth of the Just shall meditate wisdom
And his tongue shall speak judgement (Psalms 36:30)
Blessed is the man who endureth temptation
For once he hath been proven, he shall receive the crown of life (James 1:12)
[Lord, fountain of holiness.]
Lord, Fire Divine, have mercy
[O how sacred, how serene, how benevolent
How lovely, is this virgin who believeth!]
O how holy, how serene, how benevolent
How lovely, O lily of purity
