Lyrics
O Virgin Mother, Lady of Good CounselSweetest picture artist ever drew;
In all doubts I fly to thee for guidance
Mother tell me what am I to do.
By thy face to Jesus' face inclining
Sheltered safely in thy mantle blue;
By his little arms around thee twining
Mother tell me what am I to do.
By the light within thy dear eyes dwelling
By the tears that dim their lustre too;
By the story that these tears are telling
Mother tell me what am I to do.
Life, alas! is often dark and dreary,
Cheating shadows hide the truth from view;
When my soul is most perplexed and weary,
Mother, tell me, what am I to do?
See my hopes in fragile vessel tossing,
Be the pilot of that trembling crew;
Guide me safely o'er the dangerous crossing,
Mother, tell me, what am I to do?
Should I ever, wilfully forgetting,
Fail to pay my God His homage due;
Should I sin, and live without regretting,
Mother, tell me, what am I to do?
