Mary! dearest Mother!
From your heavenly height,
Look on us, your children.
Look in earth's dark night,

Mary! purest creature!
Keep us all from sin;
Help us, erring mortals,
Peace in heaven to win.

Mary, Queen and Mother!
Get us still more grace,
With still greater favour,
How to run our race.

Daughter of the Father!
Lady Kind and sweet!
Lead us to our Father,
Leave us at his feet.

Mother of our Saviour,
Joy of God above!
Jesus bade you keep us,
In his care and love.

Mary! spouse and servant,
Of the Holy Ghost!.
Keep for Him His creatures,
Who would else be lost.

Holy queen of angels!
Bid your angels come,
To escort us safely,
To our heavenly home.

Bid the saints in heaven,
Pray for us their prayers;
They are yours dear Mother!
That you may be theirs.
