1
Holy Mary, now we crown you,
Honored Queen of all our race;
Noble Virgin, may our tribute
Win your love and gain us grace.
Refrain:
Ora pro nobis!
A--- men.
Ora pro nobis!
A---men.
2
On this day we sing your praises,
Purest Maid of all the earth,
While the beauty of the Springtime
Tells the joy at Jesus' birth.
(Refrain)
3
Glorious Queen, look down in kindness,
While before your throne we stand,
Bring God's blessings to your children;
Watch our homes and guard our land.
(Refrain)
4
Queen of heaven, while creation
Speaks the grandeur of God's love,
Mold our hearts to seek His glory,
Till we reach our home above.
(Refrain)
