We laud thee, Catherine, virgin bright,<\/div>\n
Our holy Church\u2019s burning light:<\/div>\n
As countless garlands wreath thy brow<\/div>\n
We add more praises to thee now.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Enriched with virtues, great and strong,<\/div>\n
Thy life\u2019s rare flow\u2019r still blossoms on:<\/div>\n
Thy humble soul, made prompt by grace,<\/div>\n
Unto Christ\u2019s Cross its steps did trace.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Dear star of peace, and saving light,<\/div>\n
A herald in thy people\u2019s sight:<\/div>\n
Strong courage in the best restore<\/div>\n
And calm fierce anger yet once more.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thy words were warm with living flame,<\/div>\n
The light of truth lit up thy frame:<\/div>\n
The heat of love did warm thy soul,<\/div>\n
The Spirit\u2019s power made thee whole.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Beloved virgin of the Lord,<\/div>\n
We feel thy strength\u2019ning prayers outpoured:<\/div>\n
Now make us in God\u2019s love to share,<\/div>\n
To seek the Bridegroom\u2019s reign so near.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
O Jesu, virgin-born, to Thee,<\/div>\n
All honor, might, and glory be:<\/div>\n
Like glory, as is ever meet,<\/div>\n
To Father and to Paraclete.>><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
