My Mother

MY MOTHER

                  I put my trust forever,
                  O Mary, pure, in thee.

                  Then show thyself a mother,

                  And daily succour me.

                  And when death's hand shall touch me,

                  Thy pity I implore; 

                  Oh, lead me, dearest Mother,

                  To God―for evermore!
