Latin.png Latin text

Veni sponsa Christi accipe coronam quam tibi dominus preparavit in aeternum. Alleluia.


English.png English translation

Rise up, my love,
my dove, my fair one, and come away.
For now the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of pruning is at hand.
The voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;
the fig-tree puts forth her green figs;
the flourishing vineyards have given forth their fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

Cantus firmus: Come, bride of Christ.

Comment: There could hardly be a clearer example of the use of a Song of Songs text to address the Virgin Mary, in view of the cantus firmus, which makes the connection by calling Mary Christ's bride. - Mick Swithinbank
