Holy Mother, all-unknowing,
Lightest taint or stain of sin,
Whom he chose that brake death's fetters
Showing forth his love therein.
Grant in mercy that thy people,
Gladsome in their festal rite,
Find their joy and bliss forever
In the very light of light.

First of faith, by thy beseeching,
Gain us increase from above,
Stay with hope the hearts that falter,
Strengthen and confirm in love,
God's own Mother, cause and fountain
of the hope our hearts enjoy
Drive all wars and scourges from us,
Famine, plague, and strife destroy.

Heed the cries and lamentations
Or the prisoner and the poor,
grant their vows, and to the ailing
Wished-for health and strength restore.
Grant that quiet peace be with us,
Making all our life-days sweet;
Foes make friends, all hate dispelling,
Bring the wicked to thy feet.

Holy Mary, loving Mother,
Grant to al thy sons thine aid,
Till enthroned we praise for ever
Christ thy child, his fellows made.
God the Father, Son, coequal,
Holy Spirit, praise to thee;
Rule us ever through the ages,
Co-eternal Trinity.
