Come, o Supreme Lady,
O Mary, do thou visit us,
enlighten our sickly souls
by the example of thy life.
Come, O Salvatrix of the world,
take away the filth of sin;
by visiting thy people,
remove their peril.
Come, O Queen of nations,
extinguish the flames of guilt,
rectify what is wrong,
give us to live innocently.
Come, and visit the sick,
O Mary, fortify the strong
with thy holy vigor,
so that the brave fail not.
Come, O thou Star, and Light of Seas,
shed thy ray of peace on us;
let the heart of John exult
with joy before the Lord.
Veni Praecelsa Domina
(an ancient Sequence for the Traditional Feast of the Visitation,
in honor of the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen)
