OUR LADY of MONTSERRAT



Song from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat:

O Virgo splendens, hic in monte celso
Miraculis serrato fulgentibus ubique,
Quem fideles conscendunt universi.
Eia pietatis oculo placato
Cerne ligatus fune peccatorum
Ne infernorum ictibus graventur
Sed cum beatis tua prece vocentur.

English translation:

O resplendent Virgin, here on the high mountain,
Glowing with miraculous wonders,
where the believers from everywhere ascend.
Ah, with thy gentle loving eye
Behold those caught in the bonds of sin,
To let them not suffer the blows of Hell,
But let them be with the blessed by thine intercession.
