Hail Queen of Heaven & Remember, Holy Mary (medley) ========================================== {Hail Queen of Heaven:} ----------------------- w: Unk; trans. by Lohn Lingard m: English Air tune: Stella meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 [Verse 1] Hail Queen of Heav'n, the ocean Star, Guide of the wand'rer here below! Thrown on life's surge, we claim thy care. Save us from peril and from woe. Mother of Christ, Star of the sea. Pray for the wand'rer, pray for me. [Verse 2] O gentle chaste, and spotless Maid, We sinners make our pray'rs through thee: Remind thy Son that He has paid The price of our iniquity. Virgin most pure, Star of the sea. Pray for the sinner, pray for me. [Verse 3] Sojourners in this vale of tears, To thee, bless'd advocate, we cry. Pity our sorrows, calm our fears. And soothe with hope our misery. Refuge in grief, Star of the sea. Pray for the mourner, pray for me. [Verse 4] And while to Him who reigns above, In Godhead One, in persons Three. The Source of life, of grace of love. Homage we pay on bended knee: Do thou, bright Queen, Star of the sea. Pray for thy children pray for me. {Remember, Holy Mary} --------------------- w: Unk; trans. by Rev. M. Russell, SJ m: Slovak Hymn [Verse 1] Remember, holy Mary, 'Twas never heard or known That any one who sought thee And made to thee his moan, That any one who hastened For shelter to thy care, Was ever yet abandoned And left to his despair. [Verse 2] And so to thee, my Mother, With filial faith I call, For Jesus dying gave thee As Mother to us all. To thee, O Queen of virgins, O Mother meek, to thee I run with trustful fondness, Like child to mother's knee. [Verse 3] See at thy feet a sinner, Groaning and weeping sore~ Ah! throw thy mantle o'er me, And let me stray no more. Thy Son has died to save me, And from His throne on high His Heart this moment yearneth For even such as I. [Verse 4] All, all His love remember, And, oh! remember too How prompt I am to purpose, How slow and frail to do. Yet scorn not my petitions, But patiently give ear, And help me, O my Mother, Most loving and most dear.
