Haec est dies qua candida

This day, beneath the form
Of a pure snow-white dove,
Teresa’s spirit wing’d its flight
Into the realms above;

And heard the Bridegroom’s voice,
“Sister from Carmel come;
Come to the marriage of the Lamb,
To thy eternal home.”

Spouse of the Virgin choir!
Let all the blest adore
Thee, Jesu! and in nuptial songs
Exalt Thee evermore.
