Lyrics
This is the image of the QueenWho reigns in bliss above;
Of her who is the hope of all,
Whom we and angels love!
Chorus:
Most holy Mary, at thy feet
I bend a suppliant knee,
In this thine own sweet month of May
Pray thou to God for me.
The sacred homage that we pay
Of Mary's image here
To Mary's self at once ascends
Beyond the starry sphere.
How fair so-ever be the form
Which here your eyes behold,
Its beauty is by Mary's self
Excell'd a thousandfold.
Sweet are the flow'rets we have culled
This image to adorn;
But sweeter far is Mary's self,
That rose without a thorn!
