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
