Of Jesus, sleepless lying;
And singing for His pleasure,
Thus calls upon her Treasure,

O Star, my soul delighting,
O Flower of mine own bearing,
O Jewel past comparing! [Refrain]

My Sweet, all sweets excelling,
Of bliss the Fountain flowing,
The Dayspring ever glowing, [Refrain]
4. My Joy, my Exultation,
My spirit’s Consolation;
My Son, my Spouse, my Brother,
O listen to Thy mother! [Refrain]

Or love of answering meetness?
Or is fit music wanting?
Ho! Angels, raise your chanting! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The virgin stills the crying]
