Representative Text

1 Queen of the skies, so brightly fair,
So mild, so chaste, and meek;
We beg thy love, we claim thy care.
Thy children frail and weak,
Thy children frail and weak.
Behold our pray'rs like incense rise,

Chorus:
Queen of the skies,
Mary, loved Mary, Queen of the skies,
Mary, loved Mary, Queen of the skies!

2 The shadows of a sinful earth
Are hov'ring o'er our way:
Oh! thou who gav'st a Saviour birth,
Be thou, our guide and stay;
Oh! turn on us thy loving eyes,
Queen of the skies,
Mary, loved Mary, Queen of the skies.

3 The perfumed wreath for thee we've twined,
To thee our voices raise,
And round thy chaste and holy shrine
We hymn our notes of praise.
Oh! hear our prayers, behold our sight,
Queen of the skies,
Mary, loved Mary, Queen of the skies.
