QUEEN OF THE MAY

Bring flowers of the rarest

Bring blossoms the fairest,

From garden and woodland

and hillside and dale;

Our full hearts are swelling,

Our glad voices telling

The praise of the loveliest

flower of the vale!

QUEEN OF THE MAY

Our voices ascending,

In harmony blending,

Oh, thus may our hearts turn

Dear Mother, to thee.

Oh, thus shall we prove thee

How truly we love thee.

How dark, without Mary,

Life's journey would be.

QUEEN OF THE MAY

O Virgin most tender,

Our homage we render,

Thy love and protection,

Sweet Mother, to win.

In danger defend us,

In sorrow befriend us,

And shield our hearts

From contagion and sin.

QUEEN OF THE MAY

Of mothers, the dearest,

Oh, wilt thou be nearest,

When life with temptation

Is darkly replete.

Forsake us, O never,

Our hearts be they ever,

As pure as the lilies

We lay at thy feet.
