O Virgin Mother of our God,
While we thy matchless glories chant,
Do thou, in answer to our praise,
To us abundant graces grant.
We Adam's guilty children are,
A sin-infected progeny,
Thou art, O Virgin, we believe,
Alone from this infection free.
The envious dragon's cruel head
Thou with thy heel dost trample down,
And of a stainless origin
Thou only dost the glory own.
O Power of the human race,
Who takes Eve's reproach away,
Protect us when we cry to thee,
Our tottering footsteps deign to stay.
Hymns of the Dominical Missal & Breviary, 1943
