1 To thee, sweet Mother, heav'nly Queen, We raise our loving hearts today; O, deign to listen to our words, While lowly at thy feet we pray.
Chorus: Sweet Lady of the Sacred Heart, Before thy shrine today. We kneel on earth to choose thee Queen, Queen of heav'n's eternal May.
2 We all thee oft the Queen of May, And lily pure, and mystic rose; And Mother of our Jesus dear, In whose sweet heart love brightly glows. [Chorus]
3 And by this name today we call On thee, by the unwearying love Which thou dost for thy children feel, To raise our loving hearts above.
