A blessed Festival of St. Mary, Mother of our Lord!
We sing with joy of Mary,

As once for our salvation
Your mother she became.

A blessed Feast of St. James the Elder!
O Lord, for James we praise You,
Who fell to Herod's sword;

And thus fulfilled Your word.
Lord, curb our vain impatience
For glory and for fame,
Equip us for such suff'rings
As glorify Your name.

A blessed Commemoration of the prophet Ezekiel!
This is He whom seers in old time
Chanted of with one accord,

Let creation praise its Lord
Evermore and evermore.
