The Holiest Mother

The Holiest Mother, to your heart,
With the hurtful sword pierced throughout,
We are calling with groaning and tears:
Refuge of sinners, pray for us.

Where, o Mather, are we to go,
And where will we find our rescue?
Do not despise of your folk’s pleadings:
Refuge of sinners, pray for us.

Your name, Maria, is famed for compassion,
You are our consolation at every hour,
When pressed by hurtful thorns, we ask:
Refuge of sinners, pray for us.

From all directions to you, o Mother,
Your oppressed people is calling in misery,
Support us with your heart’s blessings:
Refuge of sinners, pray for us.

O, our Mother, Mother of love!
Let us receive your mercy,
We are so miserable when abandoned:
Refuge of sinners, pray for us.

Healer of sick, in our weakness,
We are groaning for your salvation,
For we are covered with wounds of sins:
Refuge of sinners, pray for us.

And when the last tear rolls from the eye,
O Holly Mother, at that hour,
Close our eyes with your hands:
Refuge of sinners, pray for us.

And when the earthly life will fly away,
Plead so Jesus lights up heaven for us,
So we can sing Hosanna alongside the Angels,
For eternity: pray for us.
