Carmel Hymn

Pure as Carmel snows and lovely,

As the first fair morning shines

Crowned with stars of changeless splendour,

Hail! thou mother-maid sublime!

Hail, that hallowed Mount of Carmel

Rearing up its stately height

Emblematic of thy graces

Glowing in immortal light.

Mother of Mount Carmel hear;

Bless your children here so dear.

Mother of Mount Carmel hear;

Bless your children here so dear.

Raise thy voice for us to Jesus

Plead from him a love like thine

Raise thy pure hands up to bless us,

As we gather round thy shrine.

Bless, O bless us now and ever

Thou who once this dark earth trod

And when dying waft our spirits

To our home in Heav’n above.
