Mother Dearest, Mother Fairest

1.
Mother dearest, Mother fairest,
Help of all who call on thee.
Virgin purest, brightest rarest,
Help us, help, we cry to thee.

MARY, HELP US, HELP, WE PRAY.
MARY, HELP US, HELP, WE PRAY.
HELP US IN ALL CARE AND SORROW.
MARY, HELP US, HELP WE PRAY.

2.
Lady, help in pan and sorrow,
Soothe those racked on beds of pain;
May the golden light of morrow
Bring them health and joy again.
