My Holy Virgin's Death

MY HOLY VIRGIN'S DEATH Weep my people weep For my holy virgin has gone to sleep A sleep eternal and deep Her soul her creator must reap Born of the world But not of the world Chastity her watch word Her purity rose like an incense to God Of old she swore her solemn oath To evade immortality's boat That she on the wings of sanctity may float And over sin gloat But the enemy laughed her to scorn The battle line has just been drawn By her, will it be won Or will she mourn? With lust, they fought With love, she defended her lot They exhausted all that they got Death became their last resort For this she was willing to die Offering her life to he who sits on high, She let out a victorious sigh "It is finished! To my heavenly spouse, I now fly" So was the victorious death of my holy virgin Who conquered sin!
