sphere.
Most holy Mary! at thy feet
I bend a suppliant knee;
In all my joy, in all my pain,
O Virgin born without a stain,
Do thou remember me.

3.
How fair soever be the form
Which here your eyes behold,
Its beauty is by Mary's self
Excell'd a thousand-fold.
Most holy Mary! At thy feet
I bend a suppliant knee;
In my temptations each and all
From Eve derived in Adam's fall,
Do thou remember me.

4.
Sweet are the flowerets we have called
This image to adorn;
But sweeter far is Mary's self,
That rose without a thorn!
Most holy Mary! At thy feet
I bend a suppliant knee;
When on the bed of death I lie,
By Him who did for sinners die,
Do thou remember me.

Guide of the Wanderer here below,
Thrown on life's surge, we claim thy care,
Save us from peril and from woe.

We sinners make our pray'rs thro' thee;

Pray for the sinner, pray for me.

To thee, blest Advocate, we cry,
Pity our sorrows, calm our fears,
And soothe with hope our misery.
Refuge in grief, Star of the Sea,
Pray for the mourner, p
