Hymnal: Laudis Corona #80 (1880) First Line: How pure, How frail and white Refrain First Line: Hail, Mary! Hail, Mary! Lyrics: 1 How pure, How frail and white
The snowdrops shine;
Gather a garland bright
for Mary's shrine.
Chorus:
Hail, Mary! Hail, Mary!
Queen of Heaven, let us repeat,
And place our snowdrop wreath
Here at her feet.
2 For on this blessed day
She knelt at pray'r;
Where, lo! before her shone
an angel fair. [Chorus]
3 Hail, Mary! infant lips
Lisp it to-day;
Hail, Mary! with faint smile,
The dying say. [Chorus]
4 Hail, Mary! many a heart,
Broken with grief,
In that angelic prayer
Has found relief. [Chorus]
