Hymns - The Virgin Stills the Crying - Текст песни

The virgin stills the crying
Of Jesus, sleepless lying;
And singing for His pleasure,
Thus calls upon her Treasure,


Refrain

???My Darling, do not weep,
My Jesu, sleep!???

O Lamb, my love inviting,
O Star, my soul delighting,
O Flower of mine own bearing,
O Jewel past comparing!

Refrain

My Child, of Might indwelling,
My Sweet, all sweets excelling,
Of bliss the Fountain flowing,
The Dayspring ever glowing,

Refrain

My Joy, my Exultation,
My spirit???s Consolation;
My Son, my Spouse, my Brother,
O listen to Thy mother!

Refrain

Say, would???st Thou heav???nly sweetness,
Or love of answering meetness?
Or is fit music wanting?
Ho! Angels, raise your chanting!

Refrain
