O, Mater admirabilis,
List to our fervent pray'r;

In soft soul-breathing melody,
To sing thy wondrous praise.

List to our fervent pray'r;

Let heav'n and earth proclaim,
O Mater admirabilis,
The sweetness of thy name.

And gaze upon the beauties
That faith and love reveal.

That cheers our lone and darksome way
On this sad earth below.

Thy sweet protection share,
Thy sweet protection share.
