Prayer to Mother of Perpetual Help

O' Mother of Perpetual Help, 

grant that I may ever invoke your powerful name, 

the protection of the living 

and the salvation of the dying. 

Purest Mary, 

let your name henceforth 

be ever on my lips. 

Delay not, Blessed Lady, 

to rescue me whenever I call on you. 

In my temptations, in my needs, 

I will never cease to call on you, 

ever repeating your sacred name, Mary, Mary. 

What a consolation, 

what sweetness, 

what confidence fills my soul 

when I utter your sacred name 

or even only think of you! 

I thank the Lord 

for having given you so sweet, 

so powerful, 

so lovely a name. 

But I will not be content 

with merely uttering your name. 

Let my love for you 

prompt me ever to hail 

you Mother of Perpetual Help. 

Mother of Perpetual Help, 

pray for me and grant me 

the favour I confidently ask of you.

(1x Our Father, 10x Hail Mary, and 1x Glory Be)

Mother Dearest, Mother Fairest

Mother dearest, Mother fairest,

Help of all who call on thee,

Virgin purest, brightest, rarest,

Help us, help, we cry to thee.

Mary help us, help we pray;

Mary help us, help, we pray;

Help us in all care and sorrow,

Mary help us, help we pray.

Lady, help in pain and sorrow,

Soothe those racked on bed of pain

May the golden light of morrow

Bring them health and joy again

Mary help us, help we pray;

Mary help us, help, we pray;

Help us in all care and sorrow,

Mary help us, help we pray.
