O Dearest Mother of Mercy

1 All hail! our admirable Mother,
Let angels and men sing her praise;
None after Jesus is above her,
For he should be the sweetest lays.
Chorus
O dearest, Mother of Mercy, Gentle and Holy Queen,
Beauty bright and serene! O may we one day in glory,
Blessed Mother of Grace, Behold thy most sweet face!
Behold thy most sweet Face! Behold thy most sweet face!

2 Protect and hear us, gentlest Mary,
From on high hear our humble cries;
On us that mourn and weep in misery,
O turn thy mercy's tender eyes.
O dearest, Mother of Mercy &.c

3 O clement sweet and pious Mary,
O thou of whom our Lord was born,
Show us thy Son to make us happy,
When life at last is from us torn
O dearest, Mother of Mercy &.c
