Processional

(The melody of Hymn No.76 "Daily, Daily" may be used with this text, with repetition of the last two lines of the refrain.)

Traditional Melody (1750) "Pone luctum"

With spirit

1.
Hail! all hail, great Queen of Heaven!
Hail! Sweet Notre Dame de Lourdes,
'Neath whose care our weary exile
Is from countless ills secured!

Refrain
Then let men and Angels praise thee
For each blessing thou'st procured,
While in gladsome strains we're singing,
Hail! Sweet Notre Dame de Lourdes!

2.
Blest be thou above all others,
Mary, mistress of the spheres,
Star of hope, serenely beaming
Thro' this darksome vale of tears.

3.
Happy angels joy to own thee,
O'er their choirs exalted high,
Thron'd in blissful light and beauty,
Empress of the starry sky.

4.
As the fount is still unsealing
Its pure treasure softly fair,
May each drop be fraught with healing,
Dearest Mother, at thy pray'r.

Note: For Congregational singing it is suggested that the hymn be transposed a full tone lower.
