Daughter of the Father!\nLady kind and sweet!\nLead us to our Father,\nLeave us at His feet.\n5. Mother of our Saviour\nJoy of God above!\nJesus bade thee keep us,\nIn his fear and love.\n6. Mary! Spouse and servant\nOf the Holy Ghost!\nKeep for him his creatures\nWho would else be lost.\n7. Holy Queen of angels!\nBid thine angels come\nTo escort us safely\nTo our heavenly home.\n8. Bid the saints in heaven!\nPray for us their prayers;\nThey are thine, dear Mother!\nThat thou may’st be theirs.
