Representative Text

1
Mary Immaculate, Star of the Morning,
Chosen before the creation began,
Destined to bring, through the light of your dawning,
Conquest of Satan and rescue to men.

Refrain:
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying;
Look to this earth where your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.

2
We, sinners, honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for God’s mercy we plead;
Grant us the shield of your mighty protection;
Measure your aid by the depth of our need. [Refrain]
