Mary, Queen of Angels

Feast of the Assumption  of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Regina Angelorum by William-Adolphe Bouguereau

1. Oh, Mary Queen of Angels, 

clothed in splendor without bound,

in you, an endless peace 

and heavenly comfort I have found.

Your beauty is unprecedented, 

not to be surpassed,

and adorned with such HUMILITY, 

so rare and vast.

 

2. Chosen for our Savior, 

from before the world began,

to be his purest Mother, 

was God's exalted plan.

The angels pay you homage, 

as Christ’s Mother and their Queen.

They find a refuge in your presence, 

and heart so SERENE.

 

3. You bore the Son of God 

within your PURE, virginal womb,

inspiring us with hope, 

that Jesus may be coming soon.

We know that you will never fail, 

to grant our every plea,

as you continue as Christ’s Mother, 

through eternity.

This alone is cause, 

for all the angels to rejoice,

as they sing your praises,

in one grand celestial voice.

 

4. Every person needs a mother, 

all throughout their life,

a REFUGE from their disappointments, 

tragedies, and strife.

You’ve been chosen for 

our Heavenly Mother, in God's love,

to comfort and to guide us, 

to our heavenly home above.

 

5. The angels help your earthly children, 

to become aware

of how greatly that you love them, 

and how much you care.

We thank you, Dearest Mother, 

for your graces and your LOVE,

and hail you as the Queen 

of all the Angels, up above!
