Representative Text

On this day, O beautiful Mother,
On this day we give thee our love;
Near thee, Madonna, fondly we hover,
Trusting thy gentle care to prove.

1 On this day we ask to share,
Dearest Mother, thy sweet care;
Aid us ere our feet astray
Wander from thy guiding way.
On this day, O beautiful Mother,
On this day we give thee our love;
Near thee, Madonna, fondly we hover,
Trusting thy gentle care to prove.

2 Rose of Sharon, lovely flow'r,
Heav'nly bud of Eden's bow'r,
Cherished lily of the vale,
Virgin Mother, thee we hail!
On this day, O beautiful Mother,
On this day we give thee our love;
Near thee, Madonna, fondly we hover,
Trusting thy gentle care to prove.

3 Fast our days of life we run,
Soon the night of death will come;
Tower of strength, in that dread hour,
Come, with all thy gentle pow'r.
On this day, O beautiful Mother,
On this day we give thee our love;
Near thee, Madonna, fondly we hover,
Trusting thy gentle care to prove.
