Jesus, crown of Virgins,
whom that Mother conceived
who alone as a Virgin gives birth:
receive graciously these vows:
You who walk among the lilies
surrounded by the choirs of Virgins,
the Bridegroom glorious in splendor,
bestowing rewards upon your brides.
Wherever you go, the Virgins
follow, and hasten after you
with praises singing,
and resound sweet hymns;
we implore you as suppliants,
that you grant to our senses
to be utterly ignorant
of all the wounds of corruption.
Power, honor, praise, and glory
to God the Father with the Son,
and likewise to the Holy Paraclete,
unto ages of ages.
Amen.

℟ Therefore God has blessed you for ever.
