The Immaculate Conception

1. O noble guardian of the chaste,
   pure mother of almighty God,
   O portal of the heav'nly court:
   you are our hope and heaven's joy.
   
   2. Amid the thorns a lily blooms,
   a flow'r so pure, a dove so fair;
   a branch from Jesse's root bears fruit:
   her Son, a balm for all our wounds.
   
   3. O tower sealed, O guiding star,
   impervious to the dragon's strike,
   protecting us from Satan's lies,
   the light that leads the shipwrecked home.
   
   4. Dispel the gloom of errors dark,
   from deadly peril steer us clear;
   to sailors lost in stormy seas,
   reveal the path of safety now.
   
   5. O Jesus, of the Virgin born
   to you shall all the glory be,
   and to the Father without end,
   and to the Spirit evermore. Amen.
