Link to MusicLearn the hymn written by St. Simon Stock, the prior of the Carmelite order to whom Mary appeared and gave the brown scapular as a privilege to the Carmelite order. This was originally used as the sequence for the feast of St. Simon, then for the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (July 16th). Now it's just a devotional hymn, but since the Church has given us all the privilege of participating in the brown scapular, let's all sing it in thank to Our Lady and Holy Mother Church!

1. O more than blessed, merit high attaining, Pure as the snow-drift, innocent of evil, Child of the desert, mightiest of Martyrs, Greatest of Prophets.
2. Thirtyfold increase some with glory crowneth; Sixtyfold fruitage prize for others winneth; Hundredfold measure, thrice repeated, decks thee, Blest one, for guerdon.
3. O may the virtue of thine intercession, All stony hardness from our hearts expelling, Smooth the rough places, and the crooked straighten Here in the desert.
4. Thus may our gracious Maker and Redeemer, Seeking a station for His hallowed footsteps, Find, when He cometh, temples undefiled, Meet to receive Him.
5. Now as the Angels celebrate Thy praises, Godhead essential, Trinity co-equal; Spare Thy redeemed ones, as they bow before Thee, Pardon imploring.
