We greet thee Ma-ry, peer-les Vir-gin,
With fon-dest love _ to thee we turn,
How ra-diant is the crown _ of glo-ry,
Thy ar-_-dent love _ on earth did earn,
O hear _ our pray'rs, thou help of Chris-tians,
Our hearts _ re-new with strenght and joy,
And Sa-tan's dire-ful sway and pow-er
In souls thy Son _ re-deemed _ de-stroy. |
O Queen en-throned so high in hea-ven,
With joy-ful hearts _ to thee we sing,
For Vir-gin fair, to thee _ was gi-ven,
to bear _ thy God _ th'e-ter-nal King,
A-round _ thee saints and ang-els ga-ther,
and hail _ thee Ma-ry as their queen,
O turn thou from thy seat of mer-cy,
On us be-neath _ a glance _ se-rene. |
Hail, Heav'n-ly La-dy, fair and might-y,
All wrapt in light _ and bliss un-told,
Thou mar-vel of th'e-ter-_-nal ci-ty,
With crown _ that beams _ with gems and gold,
The an-_-gel choirs thy praise are sing-ing,
In e-_-ver-last-ing realms of rest.
When shall we, Queen to whom we're pray-ing,
These dwel-lings see, _ these courts _ so blest? |
