EN 1972 How Blest the Matron, Who, Endued

Prov.3.10

Versi Version 1

1

How blest the matron, who, endued

With holy zeal and fortitude,

Has won through grace a saintly fame,

And owns a dear and honored name.

2

Such holy love inflamed her breast

She would not seek on earth her rest,

But, strong in faith and patience, trod

The narrow way that leads to God.

3

She learned, through fasting, to control

The flesh that weigheth down the soul,

And then, by prayer’s sweet food sustained,

To seek the joys she now has gained.

4

O Christ, from Whom all virtue springs,

Who only doest wondrous things,

To Thee, the King of saints, we pray,

Accept and bless Thy flock today.

5

All praise to God the Father be,

All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,

Whom with the Spirit we adore

For ever and for evermore.
