O Mary, Help of Christians,
be a mother to us,
in this world so fallen and so cold.
1. The values of the life we’re living
are challenged every day.
We are weak, you know, and often go astray.
We are scared to stand by what we profess,
for fear of what they’ll say.
Give us courage, Help of Christians, on our way.
2. The pleasures of the world seem
better than blessings you bestow;
with our eyes of flesh, we fail to see the goal.
So we put our feet into the grime,
pretending we feel good.
Cure our blindness, so that we may see the shore.

Chorus:O Mary, Help of Christians,

We are scared to stand by what we profess,

with our eyes of flesh, we fail to see the goal.
So we put our feet into the grime,

Cure our blindness, so that we may see the shore.
