IMMACULATE MARY

Immaculate Mary!

Our hearts are on fire,

that title so wondrous

fills all our desire.


Ave, ave, ave Maria!

Ave, ave, ave Maria!


We pray for God’s glory,

the Lord’s kingdom come!

We pray for his vicar,

our father, and Rome.


We pray for our mother

the church upon earth,

and bless, sweetest lady,

the land of our birth.


For poor, sick, afflicted

thy mercy we crave;

and comfort the dying

thou light of the grave.


There is no need, Mary,

nor ever has been,

which thou canst not succour,

Immaculate Queen.


In grief and temptation,

in joy or in pain,

we’ll ask thee, our mother,

nor seek thee in vain.


O bless us, dear lady,

with blessings from heaven.

And to our petitions

let answer be given.


In death’s solemn moment,

our mother, be nigh;

as children of Mary —

help us when we die.


And crown thy sweet mercy

with this special grace,

to behold soon in heaven

God’s ravishing face.


To God be all glory

and worship for aye,

and to God’s virgin mother

an endless Ave.
