'Tis the month of our Mother, the sweet month of May

1 'Tis the month of our Mother,
The blessed and beautiful days,
When our lips and our spirits
Are glowing with love and with praise.

Chorus:
All hail! to dear Mary,
The guardian of our way,
To the fairest of Queen,
Be the fairest of seasons, sweet May.

2 Oh! what peace to her children,
'Mid sorrows and trials, to know
That the love of their Mother
Hath ever a solace for woe. [Chorus]

3 And what joy to the erring,
The sinful and sorrowful soul,
That a trust in her guidance
Will lead to a glorious goal. [Chorus]

4 Let us sing, then, rejoicing,
That God hath so honored our race
As to clothe with our nature
Sweet Mary, the Mother of Grace. [Chorus]
