From the recording Journeying Together: Pilgrim Songs for Our Time
Lyrics
O Mary, Mother of the Church
Queen of Apostles, light for our way
Lead us always to your Son, Jesus
Make all our lives a hymn of love
Mary and the life of the Church
By your “Yes” the Word took dwelling
God’s own promise came to birth
In your prayer, hope’s flame is swelling
Strength for witnesses on earth
Mary and the priestly mission
Near each priest, your gentle presence
Guides the gift of grace and peace
Through your prayer, the Word finds entrance
And the Gospel’s fruits increase
Mary, model for all believers
At Cana’s feast, you interceded
At the Cross, you stood in faith
With the Church in prayer, you pleaded
Till the Spirit came in grace
Mary’s universal witness
Every tongue and every nation
Hears your call to trust and pray
You invite God’s whole creation
To obey His loving way
In this time of hope and blessing
We lift our hearts and pray to you
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us now and at ou r death. Amen
O Mary, Mother of the Church
Queen of Apostles, light for our way
Lead us always to your Son, Jesus
Make all our lives a hymn of love
Make all our lives a hymn of love
