4.This earth is but a vale of tears,
O Maria!
A place of banishment, of fears,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.
5.Turn, then, most gracious Advocate,
O Maria!
Tow'rds us thine eyes compassionate,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.
6.When this our exile is complete,
O Maria!
Show us thy womb-born Jesus sweet,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.
7.O clement, gracious, Mother sweet,
O Maria!
O Virgin Mary, we entreat,
O Maria! Triumph, etc.
