Ode to Mary, Mother of Virtues



Oh Mary, Mother of Faith

You taught us to obey God

Your humble submission we congratulate



Oh Mary, Mother of Hope

You offered us God's Messiah

Your fruit of salvation we interlope



Oh Mary, Mother of Charity

You granted us God's abundant grace

Your genuine generosity we credit sincerely



Oh Mary, Mother of Prudence

You confirmed us that you are guided by God

Your sinlessness we adore with magnificence



Oh Mary, Mother of Justice

You imparted us God's impartial mercy

Your intercession we always please



Oh Mary, Mother of Fortitude

You showed us patience amidst God's trials

Your endurance we praise with servitude



Oh Mary, Mother of Temperance

You astounded us with your chastity before God

Your immaculate heart we want to glance.
