Chorus:

The honour of Mary, is exalted : From the east, to the west : Honour her, and glorify her : Bless her, with your heart.

She is exalted and shining : Her light never sets : As the mother of God she said : “All people call me blessed.”

He has seen and elected her : The God of all the living : And He protected her : From all sorts of sins.

She is your intercessor in your troubles : Listen you who are in need : Do not hesitate to ask for : Her prayers and intercessions.

She is well known : To be a generous refuge : Seek her prayers : She will quickly support you.

Remember us and deal with us : As a mother with her children : Plead on our behalf and make us : Among the ranks of the worshippers.

Quickly assist us with your prayers : To be firm in the faith : Shadow us with your support : To win us for your son.

We ask to be worthy : For the eternal happiness : And there we will see you : Praised among the heavenlies.

Chorus:

You are the Honoured Intercessor : With your son, O Mary.

You have had a, high level : And accepted, intercessions. Pearls are counted, as nothing : Compared to, your praises. The full moon, and even the sun : Are not equal to, your illuminating light. Who doubts in, your honour : Will be harshly punished, in the judgement.

Your Lord, accepted you : To intercede for the mercy of the humans. You are full, of grace : Who seeks you, will have mercy.

Gabriel came, to Nazareth : With good tidings, to you. Saying rejoice, of pure : You are, blessed.

The mystery of the Lord, of the angels and : Humanity, Has been revealed through you : That Christ whom we, were waiting : Incarnated, from you.

The Spirit of, the most high : Dwelt in your womb, purifying it. And the power, of the most high : Overshadowed you, O Mary.

You are the, intercessor through : Your pleadings my, prayers are accepted. We ask you to, continually intercede : For everyone, who seeks your support.


+ The Burning Bush:

The burning bush which was seen : By Moses in the desert : Blazed with flames of fire : And brought light yet was harmless.

And the fire like St. Mary : Carried the flame of divinity : In her womb for nine whole months : Even though still a virgin.

I open wide my lips and speak : About the hidden mystery : A virgin mother of the Light : Blessed are you, pride of humanity.

Through your Son, O pride of creation : We became free after slavery : From Satan’s grip we were saved : Blessed are you, pride of humanity.

The sayings and the prophecies of the : Old Testament were all fulfilled : That Emmanuel will be born of you : Blessed are you, pride of humanity.

Gabriel announced to her : That by the descent of the Master : St. Mary would carry the word : Blessed are you, O our Lady.

David your father spoke of you : With his wondrous prophesy : The God of gods became your Son : Blessed are you, O our Lady.

O Mary, mother Of God : In your womb laid the Holy : The Son of God, our salvation : Blessed are you, O our Lady.

The forgiver of our sins : The giver of charity : Loved the slave and took his form : Blessed are you, O our Lady.

He bowed down the heavens : And came down in His glory : Yet He remained with His Father : Blessed are you, O our Lady.

The Lord of glory chose you : And adorned you with divinity : He took humanity from you : Blessed are you, O our Lady.

A fruitful plant without seeding : Grew without watering : In a pure chosen field : Blessed are you, O our Lady.

Zephaniah explained with prophecies : About the plan of the divinity saying : Coming down like rain without cold : Blessed are you, O our Lady.
