In the hour of grief and sorrowA
When my heart is full of careB
Seeking sadly hope to borrowA
From heaven s promises and prayerB
When around me roll the watersC
Of affliction s stormy seaD
Mary gentle Queen of MercyD
In that hour oh pray for meD
-
When life s pulses high are boundingE
With the tide of earthly joyF
And when in mine ears are soundingE
Strains of mirth without alloyF
When the whirl of giddy pleasureG
Leaves no thought or feeling freeD
And I slight my heavenly treasureG
Watchful Mother pray for meD
-
When the soft voice of TemptationH
Lures my listening soul to sinI
And with baleful fascinationH
Strives my vain weak heart to winI
With the combat faint and wearyD
If I call not then on theeD
In that time of peril drearyD
Tender Mother pray for meD
-
If in some unguarded hourG
Of dark passion or of prideJ
Evil thoughts with serpent powerG
To my inmost bosom glideJ
Ah while I from bonds unholyD
Vainly seek myself to freeD
Mary pure and meek and lowlyD
Pray oh Mary pray for meD
-
When with Heaven high communingE
In the solemn hour of prayerB
To its strains my soul attuningE
I forget all worldly careB
When earth s voices for a seasonH
My vex d spirit have left freeD
Still dear Mother near me hoverG
Still sweet Mary pray for meD
-
And in that supremest hourG
When life s end is drawing nighK
When earth s scenes and pomps and powerG
Fade before my tear dimmed eyeK
When I on the shore am lyingE
Of eternity s wide seaD
Then O Refuge of the dyingE
Tender Mother pray for meD
