Vas Insigne Devotionis
O strong in prayer! our spirits bind
To God: our bodies keep from sin:
Live in our hearts that Christ may find
An incorrupt abode therein:
That He, the Eternal Spirit, He
Who overshadowed with His grace
The depths of thy humility,
In us may have a resting-place.
Who love thee prosper! As a breeze
Thou waft'st them o'er the ways divine:
Strange heights they reach with magic ease
Through music-moulded discipline.
“If I but touch His vesture's hem
I shall be healed, and strong and free”—
Thou wert His vesture, Mary!—them
His virtue heals that reach to thee.
