(bride of Christ) are, the first words of a hymn for All saints' day, an English version of which is as follows:

"Spouse of Christ in arms contending

O'er each clime beneath the sun,

Mix with prayers for help descending,

Notes of praise for triumphs won.

As the Church today rejoices

All her saints in one to join,

So from earth let all our voices

Rise in melody divine."
