On This Day, O Beautiful Mother Lyrics

On this day, O Beautiful Mother!
On this day we give Thee our love
Near thee, Madonna, fondly we hover
Trusting Thy gentle care to prove.
On this day we ask to share
Dearest Mother, Thy sweet care
Aid us e'er, our feet astray
Wander from Thy guiding way.
. . .
Queen of Angles, deign to hear

Lisping children's humble pray'r
Young hearts gain, O Virgin pure
Sweetly to thyself allure.
. . .
On this day, O Beautiful Mother!
On this day we give Thee our love
Near thee, Madonna, fondly we hover
Trusting Thy gentle care to prove.
Fast our days of life we run,
Soon the night of death will come;
Tower of strength in that dread hour,
Come with all thy gentle power.
