Mater Misericordiae









Sing anthems, hymns and songs of fervent praise

To Mary virgin mother full of grace

Most sweet and tender mother of our Lord

Who gave her “yes” when she heard Gabriel’s word



Bright holy vessel,  sacred spotless shrine

In whose confines the Lord chose to recline

The Lord our God of power infinite

Took in the humble maiden His delight.



O dearest mother of the Lord we pray

Be beacon bright on our pilgrims way

Give from your merits’ jewels just a beam

To light the arduous path that leads to Him



Mater Misericordia!-  mother mine,

What mother would not want her children shine?

Queen of celestial beings high - to you

We bring these humble flowers white and blue







Forget-me-nots - - Lode Star, resplendent guide;

Succor Perpetual in storm and night,

Hope’s Morning Star compassionate and sweet

Take our hands and intercede and  lead

Upon narrow path that leads to joy

To Him, you called your Darling Little Boy
