Carmelite Hymns

1. Flower of Carmel

Tall Vine Blossom laden
Splendeour of Heaven
Child-bearing, yet maiden
None equals thee
None equals thee

Mother so tender
Whom no man didst know
On Carmel's children
Thy favour bestow:
Star of the Sea
Star of the Sea


2. O Bright Flower of Carmel; Thou blossoming vire
The splendour of HEaven, of Jesus divine.
The Child-bearing Virgin, most stainless most mild,
Thy privilege grant, to each Carmelite Child.

O Srat of the wild sea, that shineth serence,
Once seen by Elias, as Carmel's bright Queen.
The cloudlet that rose, o'er the sheen of the waves
of the sea that Mount Carmel's base gently laves.

3. Hail Mary. full of grace
The Lord is with you
Blessed are you among women
And Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners now
And at the hour of our death
Amen


Flos Carmeli
Vitis florigera
Splendor Caeli
Virgo puerper
Singularis

Mater mitis,
Sed viri nescia
Carmelitis
Esto propitia
Stella Maris.


4. Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae;
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, essules filii Hevae,
ad te suspiramus, gementeset flentes
in has lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
Misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
et lesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exilium ostende.
Oclemeens, O pia, I dulcis Virgo Maria.


5. Regina caeli, laetare! Alleluia
Quia quem muruisti portare alleluia.
Reserrexit dicut dixit; alleluia.
Ora pro nobis Deum; alleluia
