Of One That is so Fair and Bright
Text: Medieval Mary Song
Music: M. O. Joy
Arr. Marcus McCullough

Words in parentheses translated from Latin:

1. Of one that is so fair and bright
(Like a star)
Brighter than the day is light
(Parent and girl.)
I cry to thee to turn to me;
Lady, pray thy Son for me,
(So pious.) That I may come to the, Maria.

2. In sorrow; counsel thou art best,
(Happy fruitful:)
For all the weary thour rest,
(An honored mother:)
Beseech Him in thy mildest mood,
Who for us did shed his Blood
(On the Cross) that we may come to Him, (In the light).

3. All this world was most forlorn,
(Eve sinfully.)
Till our Savior Lord was born
(Of thee by genealogy;) With thy Hail sin went away,
Dark night went and in came day
(Health) The well of healing sprang from thee,
(Virtues.)

4. Lady, flow'r of ev'rything, (A rose without a thorn,)
Thou bore Jesus Heaven's King, (Divine Grace)
Of all I say thou bore the prize,
Lady Queen of Paradise (Elected:)
Maiden mild, mother (You're done.)
