Delight of the Holy Trinity,

Temple of the living God,

Shrine of the Holy Ghost,

Glory of the heavenly Jerusalem,

Never-failing Spring of graces,

Stream of everlasting life,

Garden of heavenly delights,

Refuge of the sorrowful in spirit,

By thy sweetest name,

By the pity of thy Mother's heart,

By the love with which thou didst conceive Jesus, and bear him in thy most pure womb,

By the love with which thou didst bring forth Jesus, and lay him in the lowly manger,

By the love with which thou didst give him to suck of thy breasts,

By the love with which thou didst share with Jesus his joys and his sorrows,

By the love with which thou didst shed so many tears in his Passion,

By the love with which thou didst stand by the cross of Jesus,

By the love with which thou didst look upon Jesus risen,

By the love with which thou didst gaze upon him ascending,

By the love with which thou didst receive the Holy Ghost,

By the love with which thou didst give thy spirit into his hands,
