Mother Mary, Pray for Us

Mother Mary, full of mercy
Hear your people, gentle one
Help of Christians, friend of sinners
How we need your prayer for us
We, the children born of Eden
Prone to wander from your son
Mother Mary, in your mercy, pray for us

Dearest Mary, heart of suff'ring
Love that wept beneath the cross
See our wounds in need of tending
Comfort of afflicted ones
Sweetest help of all in sorrow
Lift us to the heart of God
Mother Mary, in your kindness, pray for us

Holy Mary, seat of wisdom
Give us vision to believe
Cause of joy and of salvation
Lead the nations into peace
Star of morning, interceding
With a mother's patient love
Holy Mary, in your wisdom, pray for us

Mother Mary, in your mercy, pray for us
