THE BLESSED VIRGIN
This is the image of the Queen
Month of Mary Crowning Hymn Tr. Rev. E. Caswall from a Slovak Hymnal Arr. by N.A.M
Joyously: Moderato
1.
This is the image of the Queen Who reigns in bliss above; Of her who is the hope of men, Whom men and angels Love!
Most holy Mary! at thy feet I bend a suppliant knee; In this thy own sweet month of May, Dear Mother of my G.o.d, I pray, Do thou remember me.
2.
This homage offered at the feet Of Mary's image here To Mary's self at once ascends Above the starry sphere.
Most holy Mary! at thy feet I bend a suppliant knee; In all my joy, in all my pain, O Virgin born without a stain, Do thou remember me.
3.
How fair soever be the form Which here your eyes behold, Its beauty is by Mary's self Excell'd a thousand-fold.
Most holy Mary! At thy feet I bend a suppliant knee; In my temptations each and all From Eve derived in Adam's fall, Do thou remember me.
4.
Sweet are the flowerets we have called This image to adorn; But sweeter far is Mary's self, That rose without a thorn!
Most holy Mary! At thy feet I bend a suppliant knee; When on the bed of death I lie, By Him who did for sinners die, Do thou remember me.

Our life, our sweetness here below, O Maria!
Our hope in sorrow and in woe, O Maria!
3.
To thee we cry, poor sons of Eve, O Maria!
To thee we sigh, we mourn, we grieve. O Maria!
4.
This earth is but a veil of tears, O Maria!
A place of banishment, of fears, O Maria!
5.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate, O Maria!
T'wards us thine eyes compa.s.sionate, O Maria!
6.
When this our exile is complete, O Maria!
Show us thy Son, our Jesus sweet, O Maria!

O clement, gracious, Mother sweet, O Maria!
O virgin Mary, we entreat, O Maria!

THE BLESSED VIRGIN
Hail, Queen of heaven Ave, Regina coelorum
Rev. Dr. Lingard Traditional Melody
Moderato
1.
Hail, Queen of Heav'n, the ocean star, Guide of the Wanderer here below, Thrown on life's surge, we claim thy care, Save us from peril and from woe.
Mother of Christ, Star of the sea, Pray for the wanderer, pray for me.
2.
O gentle, chaste, and spotless Maid, We sinners make our pray'rs thro' thee; Remind the Son that he has paid The price of our iniquity.
Virgin, most pure, Star of the Sea, Pray for the sinner, pray for me.
3.
Sojourners in this vale of tears, To thee, blest Advocate, we cry, Pity our sorrows, calm our fears, And soothe with hope our misery.
Refuge in grief, Star of the Sea, Pray for the mourner, pray for me.
