« TE GESTIENTEM GAUDIIS ». — Hymn for Second Vespers on the feast of the Rosary, composed by the Dominican Fr Eustachio Sirena in 1825 (cf. A. Walz, Compendium hist. Ordinis Praedic., Rome 1948, p. 586).
It summarises what has been said of the Virgin in the three hymns of the feast and synthesises the joyful, sorrowful and glorious mysteries. It ends with an invitation to the faithful to weave crowns with the roses of the mysteries.
