Virgin, Mother of God of mine, let me be wholly thine own! Thine in life, thine in death, thine in misfortune, fear and need; thine in cross and bitter sorrow, thine for time and eternity. Virgin, Mother of God of mine, let me be wholly thine own!
Mother, in thee I hope and trust! Mother, to thee I call and sigh! Mother, most kind, stand by me! Mother, most mighty, grant me protection!
O Mother, come and help me pray! O Mother, come and help me strive! O Mother, come and help me suffer! O Mother, come and stay with me!
Thou canst help me, O most mighty! Thou wilt help me, O most kind! Thou must help me now, O most faithful! Thou wilt help me also, O most merciful!
O Mother of grace, refuge of Christians, refuge of sinners, gate of salvation, hope of the earth, ornament of heaven, comfort of the afflicted, their shielding banner.
Who has ever begged thy help in vain? When hast thou forgotten a childlike prayer? Therefore I call out steadfastly in cross and sorrow: "Mary helps always! She helps at all times!" I call full of trust in suffering and death: "Mary helps always, in every distress!" So I believe and live and die upon it: "Mary helps me up into heaven."
