Jesu corona Virginum by Jan Le Febure — Lyrics
Jesu corona virginum,
quem mater illa concipit
quæ sola virgo parturit,
hæc vota clemens accipe.
Qui pascis inter lilia,
septus choreis virginum,
sponsus decorus gloria, [alt. sponsas decorans]
sponsisque reddens præmia.
Quocumque pergis [tendis], virgines
sequuntur, atque laudibus

The words describe virgins following Christ, singing hymns of praise, and the text concludes with a doxology to the Trinity.
