Singer with backing, tune TAKE UP THE CROSS - professional recording:
Lyrics
O Mother of almighty God,Forever blest in all your ways,
Give us your own tranquility,
And strength and comfort all our days.
You are a strong and lovely tree,
The fruit of which is purest gold,
Whose branches spread to shelter us,
Whose quiet leaves all peace enfold.
Pray for us now and when we die,
That we may live and ever praise
The Father, Son and Spirit blest
In endless light and timeless days.
