From the Roman Breviary - Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady
1. Who is she ascends so high, Next to the Heavn'ly King
Round about whom The angels fly And her praises sing.
2. Who is she adorned with light, makes the sun her robe
At whose feet the queen of night lays her changing globe.
3. This is she in whose pure womb, heaven's Prince remained
Therefore in no earthly tomb can she be contained.
4. Heaven she was which held that fire, whence the world took light
And to heaven doth now aspire, flames with flames unite.
5. She that did so clearly shine, when our day begun
See how bright her beams decline, now she sits with the sun.
