THE ROSARY OF BLOOD
Glorious Mysteries
I
Christ for us is risen. Flesh and blood
He brings with Him as no spirit could.
II
And, ascending, He restores to mirth
Abel's blood that cried up from the earth.
III
Lo, His Spirit falleth on a host!
Of one blood the Medes and Parthians boast.
IV
Mary's tomb! The stark blood liquefies,
And in lovely blossom seeks the skies.
V
Pure St. Dominic in vision sees
Mary, who believed the mysteries,
With her Virgin blood fulfilling these,
Crowned of Christ in heaven, with rosaries.
