Thy children, humbly bending,
Surround thy shrine so dear,
With heart and voice ascending
Sweet Mary, hear our pray'r.
Hail Virgin, dearest Mary!
Our lovely Queen of May!
O spotless, Blessed Lady,
Our lovely Queen of May!

Behold earth's blossoms springing
In beauteous form and hue.
All nature gladly bringing
Her sweetest charms to thee.
Hail Virgin, dearest Mary!
Our lovely Queen of May!
O spotless, Blessed Lady,
Our lovely Queen of May!

We’ll gather fresh, bright flowers,
To bind our fair Queen's brow,
From pure and verdant bowers,
We haste to crown thee now.
Hail Virgin, dearest Mary!
Our lovely Queen of May!
O spotless, Blessed Lady,
Our lovely Queen of May!

And now, our blessèd Mother,
Smile on our festal day:
Accept our wreath of flowers,
And be our Queen of May.
Hail Virgin, dearest Mary!
Our lovely Queen of May!
O spotless, Blessed Lady,
Our lovely Queen of May!
