Hymnal: Laudis Corona #105 (1880) First Line: Glorious mother! from high heaven Refrain First Line: See, sweet Mary, on thy altars Lyrics: 1 Glorious Mother! from high heaven, Down upon thy children gaze, Gathered in thy own loved season, Thee to bless and thee to praise. Chorus: See, sweet Mary, on thy altars Bloom the fairest buds of May; Oh! may we, earth's sons and daughters, Grow, by grace, as pure as they; Oh! may we, earth's sons and daughters, Grow, by grace, as pure as they. 2 Earth is darksome, we are weary, Satan setteth snares for all, Pray for us, O tender Mary, Pray to Jesus, lest we fall. [Chorus] 3 Many call upon thee, Mother. Some in manhood, strong in youth, Some in age, in tender childhood-- ALL in loving faith and truth. [Chorus] 4 Raise thy voice for us to Jesus, In this blessed mouth of thine, Raise thy pure hands to bless us, As we linger 'round thy shrine. [Chorus] 5 Bless, oh, bless us, now and ever, Thou who once the dark earth trod, And when dying, waft our spirits, To the bosom of our God.
