1
Holy Mary, we implore thee,
By thy purity divine;
Help us bending here before thee,
Help us truly to be thine.
Thou unfolding wide the portals,
Of the kingdom in the skies,
Holy Virgin, hast to mortals
Shown the land of Paradise.
2
Thou, when deepest night infernal
Had for ages shrouded man,
Gavest us that Light eternal
Promised since the world began.
God in thee hath showered plenty
On the hungry and the weak;
Sending back the mighty empty,
Setting up on high the meek.
3
Teach, oh teach us, holy Mother,
How to conquer every sin,
How to love and help each other,
How the prize of life to win.
Thou to whom a child was given,
Greater than the sons of men.
Coming down from highest heaven,
To create this world again.
(Repeat 3)
Coda:
Coming down from highest heaven,
To create this world again.
