This Is The Image Of The Queen Lyrics

This is the image of the Queen

Who reigns in bliss above

Of her who is the hope of all

Whom we and angels love

Most holy Mary, at thy feet

I bend a begging knee

Dear Mother of my God, I pray

Do thou remember me

The sacred homage that we pay

To Mary's image here

To Mary's self at once ascends

Above the starry sphere

Most holy Mary, at thy feet

I bend a begging knee

In all my joy, in all my pain

Do thou remember me

How fair so ever be the form

Which here your eyes behold

Its beauty is by Mary's self

Excelled a thousand-fold

Most holy Mary, at thy feet

I bend a begging knee

In my temptations each and all

Do thou remember me

Sweet are the flow'rets we have culled

This image to adorn

But sweeter far is Mary's self

That rose without a thorn

Most holy Mary, at thy feet

I bend a begging knee

When on the bed of death I lie

Do thou remember me

When on the bed of death I lie

Do thou remember me
