Lyrics
No greater gift could we crown thee with
Than flowers of the field that blossom in May
and no finer thing for our Mother made Queen
than beauty now grown from the seed’s small faith
[refrain]
Mary, Mary, Mother of God,
Mary, Queen of our hearts,
When you were hailed by the Angel’s request,
You gave your whole self,
when you gave him your "yes"
Making answer in faith to God’s faithfulness
You bore to the world God’s Word made flesh
You saw Him led as a Lamb to be slain,
Though pierced through your soul,
at His side you remained
Now that He’s risen and He’s conquered the grave
You share now His glory, who shared His pain,
During these devotions which make use of a statue to honor the Holy Mother of God, Catholics must always heed the teaching of the church: "Images are venerated not because of a belief that these images themselves possess anything of divinity or power, but because the honor shown them is directed to the prototypes they represent." (Council of Trent). Indeed, honor should always be shown to Jesus’ Blessed Mother, as the Gospel says, "all generations shall call [her] blessed."
