St. Cecilia's Abbey, UK
1. O Virgin
Mother of God,
He Whom the
whole earth cannot contain,
enclosed
Himself, made man, within your womb.
2. The true faith of the Son has cleansed the
world’s sins,
and your virginity remains inviolate.
3. Mother of tenderness,
the world is crying out to you for your help:
come to the aid of your servants, O blessed lady.
4. Great glory be to the Father,
equal glory be to the Son;
and the Holy Spirit, great glory to God. Amen.
