Holy Queen ! We Bend Before Thee,
Queen Of Purity Divine!
Make Us Love Thee, We Implore Thee,
Make Us Truly To Be Thine.
Thou By Faith The Gates Unfolding,
Of The Kingdom In The Skies,
Hast To Us, By Faith Beholding,
Shown The Land Of Paradise.
Thou, When Deepest Night Infernal
Had For Ages Shrouded Man,
Gavest Us That Light Eternal,
Promis’d Since The World Began.
God In Thee Hath Shower’d Plenty
On The Hungry And The Weak;
Sending Back The Mighty Empty,
Setting Up On High The Meek.
Thine The Province To Deliver
Souls, That Deep In Bondage Lie;
Thine To Crush, And Crush For Ever,
Life-Destroying Heresy.
Thine To Show That Earthly Pleasures—
All The World’s Enchanting Bloom—
Are Outrivall’d By The Treasures
Of The Glorious World To Come.
Teach, O Teach Us, Holy Mother!
How To Conquer Every Sin;
How To Love And Help Each Other;
How The Prize Of Life To Win.
Thou, To Whom A Child Was Given
Greater Than The Sons Of Men,
Coming Down From Highest Heaven
To Create The World Again.
O, By That Almighty Maker,
Whom Thyself A Virgin Bore!
O, By Thy Supreme Creator,
Link’d With Thee For Evermore!
