Hymnal: Laudis Corona #88 (1880) First Line: O Mother, loved Lyrics: 1 O Mother, loved,
Ou eet delight,
One glance but cast,
So fondly bright.
Watch over us, Watch over us.
When dark night her mantle casts,
When storms and wintry blasts,
Hide heaven's azure hue,
O thou Star of hope, shine through,
O thou Star of hope, shine through.
2 Be love of thee, my whole life long,
My sweetest joy, my only way.
Watch over us. Watch over us.
Shine then brightly, O soft Star
With thy light driving far
Mists that oft veil my soul,
Clouds that e'er around us roll.
3 Mother of God! our hope, our life,--
Sweet Mother, shield us in the strife.
Watch over us. Watch over us.
From all earthly toils set free,
We'll quickly fly to thee;
Let us rest in thy heart:
From its depths we'll ne'er depart.
