O Mater admirabilis, list to our fervent prayer

Chorus:
O, Mater admirabilis,
List to our fervent pray'r;
Oh! let thy loving children,
Thy sweet protection share,
Thy sweet protection share.

1 O, Mater admirabilis,
Our youthful hearts we raise,
In soft soul-breathing melody,
To sing thy wondrous praise.

Chorus:
O, Mater admirabilis,
List to our fervent pray'r;
Oh! let thy loving children,
Thy sweet protection share,
Thy sweet protection share.

2 Let angels swell the chorus,
Let heav'n and earth proclaim,
O Mater admirabilis,
The sweetness of thy name.

Chorus:
O, Mater admirabilis,
List to our fervent pray'r;
Oh! let thy loving children,
Thy sweet protection share,
Thy sweet protection share.

3 Before thy loving image,
'Tis truest joy to kneel,
And gaze upon the beauties
That faith and love reveal.

Chorus:
O, Mater admirabilis,
List to our fervent pray'r;
Oh! let thy loving children,
Thy sweet protection share,
Thy sweet protection share.

4 O Mater Admirabilis,
'Tis more than rapturous glow
That cheers our lone and darksome way
On this sad earth below.

Chorus:
O, Mater admirabilis,
List to our fervent pray'r;
Oh! let thy loving children,
Thy sweet protection share,
Thy sweet protection share.
