1.  0 loved by God 0 purest dove who soared to blissful heights above; 
     Look down on us today who sing your glorious praises to the king.

Refrain:

     0 pure and blest Scholastica,
     0 pray to the Father above
     that we may learn to walk
in truth,
     And ever seek the ways of love.

2.  From earthly joys you turned away
     to tread
your holy brother sway
     And happiness without alloy

     you found in serving
God with joy!

Refrain:

3.  You learned to know love's mighty sway
     When Benedict declined to stay
     To talk of heaven through the night
     Your spouse refused not this delight.

Refrain:

4.  And when life's winter passed away
     above the clouds you winged your way

     and there with all the saints
you sing
     The joy of love's eternal
spring.

Refrain:

5.  All praise, honor, glory be to You
     Most bless 'd Holy Trinity
     Your love unbounded did impart
     to Scholastica's
enraptured heart.
