Flos Carmeli

Flos Carmeli,
vitis florigera,
splendor caeli,
virgo puerpera
singularis.
 
Mater mitis
sed viri nescia
Carmelitis
esto propitia
Stella Maris.
 
Radix Jesse
germinans flosculum
hic adesse
me tibi servulum
patiaris.
 
Inter spinas
quae crescis lilium
serva puras
mentes fragilium
tutelaris.
 
Armatura
fortis pugnantium
furunt bella
tende praesidium
scapularis.
 
Per incerta
prudens consilium
per adversa
iuge solatium
largiaris.
 
Mater dulcis
Carmeli domina,
plebem tuam
reple laetitia
qua bearis.
 
Paradisi
clavis et ianua,
fac nos duci
quo, Mater, gloria
coronaris.
Amen. (Alleluia.)
 
Translation

Flower of Carmel

Flower of Carmel,
Tall vine blossom laden;
Splendour of heaven,
Childbearing yet maiden.
None equals thee.
 
Mother so tender,
Who no man didst know,
On Carmel's children
Thy favours bestow.
Star of the Sea.
 
Strong stem of Jesse,
Who bore one bright flower,
Be ever near us
And guard us each hour,
who serve thee here.
 
Purest of lilies,
That flowers among thorns,
Bring help to the true heart
That in weakness turns
and trusts in thee.
 
Strongest of armour,
We trust in thy might:
Under thy mantle,
Hard press'd in the fight,
we call to thee.
 
Our way uncertain,
Surrounded by foes,
Unfailing counsel
You give to those
who turn to thee.
 
O gentle Mother
Who in Carmel reigns,
Share with your servants
That gladness you gained
and now enjoy.
 
Hail, Gate of Heaven,
With glory now crowned,
Bring us to safety
Where thy Son is found,
true joy to see.
Amen. (Alleluia.)
