AMPHORA 
XI 
 
 
 QUEEN of Heaven, who didst conceive 
 The ALMIGHTY without sin, 
Give us the rapture to receive 
Thy sinless love within ! 
 
Our souls are stained, our thoughts impure ; 
O Queen of Heaven, assoil 
Our error, our distemperature 
With Thine anointing oil ! 
 
Our censers fume before Thy feet. 
Through all the starry host 
Whisper the sacred words and sweet : 
“ Receive the HOLY GHOST ! ” 
Amen.
