| 1. Mother dear, O pray for me, Whilst far from heaven and thee. I wander in a fragile bark, O’er life’s tempestuous sea. O Virgin Mother from thy throne So bright in bliss above, Pro- tect thy child and cheer my path With_ thy sweet smile of love. Mother dear remember me, And never cease thy care, Till in heaven eternally, Thy love and bliss I share. |
3. Mother dear, O Pray for me! When all looks bright and fair, That I may all my dangers see, For surely them ’tis near. A Mother’s prayer how much we need If prosp’rous be the ray That paints with gold the flowery mead, Which_ blossoms in our way. Mother dear remember me, And never cease thy care, Till in heaven eternally, Thy love and bliss I share. |
| 2. Mother dear, O pray for me, Should pleasure’s siren lay, E’en tempt thy child to wander far From virtue’s path away. When thorns beset life’s devious way, And darkling waters flow, Then, Mary did thy weeping child Thy- self a mother show Mother dear remember me, And never cease thy care, Till in heaven eternally, Thy love and bliss I share. |
Amen. |
