Why I Love You O Mary

Oh, I would like to sing, Mary, why I love you so Why your sweet name makes my heart throb Why the thought of your supreme greatness Could never bring fear to my soul. If I gazed on you in your sublime glory I could not believe that I am your child O Mary, I would lower my eyes before you! … Mother full of grace, I know that in Nazareth You lived in poverty wanting nothing more. No rapture, no miracle, no ecstasy Ever embellished your life, O Queen of the Elect! … On the earth many are those who can Simply raise their eyes to you without trembling Incomparable Mother who chose to walk the ordinary path Guiding us to Heaven… Soon I will hear that sweet harmony Soon I will see you in glorious Heaven You smiled to me in the morning of my life Come and smile to me again… Mother… now that evening is drawing near! … I no longer fear the splendor of your supreme glory With you I have suffered and now on your lap I would like to sing, Mary, why I love you so And go on saying forever that I am your child! …
