Title: To the Carmelite Martyrs of Compiegne Post by: Shin on July 12, 2015, 03:14:00 PM Lilies of holy Carmel
Robed in its garb of white! Beautiful virgin-martyrs, Crowned in the land of light! Sweet is the song celestial None but the virgins sing; Yes! and the tones of martyrs Soft in your accents ring! Ah! you have nobly followed Jesus, the Victim slain, Dyeing your robes with crimson, Deep in the press of pain. And to His restful kingdom Lifting your longing gaze, Gladly you drank the chalice Chanting the Bridegroom's praise. Whilst we ascend the mountain, (Wearisome oft our way!) Beautiful virgin-martyrs! Aid us to watch and pray. May we, in pain and sorrow, Ever be nobly calm. Blissful our home unending! Glorious its light -- the Lamb! - Enfant de Marie Title: Re: To the Carmelite Martyrs of Compiegne Post by: whiterockdove on July 13, 2015, 01:43:15 AM Amen!
