2. I am blind, and poor, and wretched,
By temptations sorely tried;
Yet His watchful care abounding
Keeps me ever at His side.
He is God and King Eternal,
Higher than all height can be;
Yet His Heart is with me always,
Yet He stoopeth down to me.
Holy God, We Praise Thy Name
(REV. C. WALWORTH)
1. Holy God, we praise Thy name,
Lord of all, we bow before Thee!
All on earth Thy sceptre claim,
All in heav'n above adore Thee.
|| Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy name. ||
2. Hark! the loud celestial hymn,
Angel choirs above are raising!
Cherubim and Seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising.
|| Fill the heavens with sweet accord;
Holy! Holy! Holy Lord. ||
Hail, Heavenly Queen!
1. Hail, heavenly Queen! Hail, foamy ocean star!
O be our guide, diffuse thy beams afar;
Hail, Mother of God! above all virgins blest,
Hail, happy gate of heav'n's eternal rest.
CHORUS.—Hail foamy ocean star! Hail, heav'nly Queen!
|| O be our guide to endless joys unseen. ||
2. "Hail, full of grace," with Gabriel we repeat;
Thee, Queen of heav'n, from him we learn to greet;
Then give us peace which heav'n alone can give,
And dead thro' Eve, thro' Mary let us live.
Mother Dear, Oh, Pray for Me
1. Mother dear, oh, pray for me,
Whilst far from heav'n and thee
I wander in a fragile bark,
O'er life's tempestuous sea;
O Virgin Mother, from thy throne,
So bright in bliss above,
Protect thy child and cheer my path,
With thy sweet smile of love.
