The mouth of the Just shall meditate wisdom

And his tongue shall speak judgement (Psalms 36:30)

Blessed is the man who endureth temptation

For once he hath been proven, he shall receive the crown of life (James 1:12)

[Lord, fountain of holiness.]

Lord, Fire Divine, have mercy

[O how sacred, how serene, how benevolent

How lovely, is this virgin who believeth!]

O how holy, how serene, how benevolent

How lovely, O lily of purity
