Be Joyful, Mary

Daily, Daily Sing to Mary

Immaculate Mary

Mother Dearest, Mother Fairest

On This Day, O Beautiful Mother

Now Thank We All Our God

Now Thank We All Our God

1.
Now thank we all our God,
With heart, and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hat done,
In whom his world rejoices.
Who from our mother's arms
Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

2.
O may this gracious God
Through all our life be near us!
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
Preserve us in his grace
And guide us in distress,
And free us from all sin,
Till heaven we possess.

3.
All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son and Spirit blest,
Who reigns in highest heaven
Eternal Triune God,
Whom earth and heavn'n adore.
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

Daily, Daily Sing to Mary

Daily, Daily, Sing to Mary

1.
Daily, daily sing to Mary,
Sing, my soul, her praises due.
All her feasts, her actions worship
With the heart's devotion true.
Lost in wond'ring contemplation,
Be her Majesty confess'd.
Call her Mother, call her Virgin,
Happy Mother, Virgin blest.

2.
She is mighty to deliver.
Call her, trust her lovingly.
When the tempest rages round thee,
She will calm the troubled sea.
Gifts of heaven she has given,
Noble Lady, to our race.
She, the Queen, who decks her subjects
With the light of God's own grace.

3.
Sing, my tongue, the Virgin's trophies
Who for us her Maker bore.
For the curse of old inflicted,
Peace and blessing to restore.
Sing in songs of peace unending,
Sing the world's majestic Queen.
Weary not nor faint in telling.
All the gifts she gives to men.

Uses:
Feasts of Blessed Mother; Assumption; Immaculate Conception; Mary, Mother of God
