Lyrics:

Mother Mary, full of grace now hasten,
Hear our cry to thee thine own poor children,
left in misery.
Mother Mary, calm our fears have mercy,
drowning in this sea of tears have mercy.
Hear our mournful plea.
For banished and shaken, we wander this desert forsaken.
In this weary vale of tears, mournful sighs all to thine ears,
O Mother Mary, come and carry us in your embrace.
May we see Him face to face.

Holy Queen, our mother full of mercy,
our life and sweetness in this bitter valley,
to thee do we cry.
Mother Mary, be for us a refuge, wand’ring souls are we;
your love our rescue.
Hear our cry to thee. O Mother of Jesus,
how sweet is your love come to meet us.
Mercy seat and temple pure, life and sweetness source of hope,
O Mother Mary, come and carry us in your embrace.
May we see Him face to face.

Mary fill the glass to overflowing.
Illuminate the path that we are going. Have mercy on us all.
Mother Mary, full of grace and faithful to her children
crying in this exile, hear our humble plea.
For eye has not seen for the ear has not heart what the Word,
showing us the Father’s face ransomed full, all debt repaid,
O Mother Mary, come and carry us in your embrace.
May we see Him face to face.
