Help us to be courageous,    
Blessed Mother Mary dear,
Help us in searching for truth,
In our hearts have it adhere.            

*To God, Mother, draw us close,    
And to your beloved Son,
He wants the truth known to us,
And the things that he wants done.

Times when we are not at peace  
Peace, have Jesus give to us,
Mother, help make our minds sharp,
And our souls be glorious.      

God's will for us, help us know,
When we talk, wise help us be:  
Our souls like yours dear Mother,
Help them be ones of beauty.  

Whatever God wants of us,
Help us to be aware of.
When unloving then we are,
Mother show us how to love.

Help us Mother in our lives,
So holiness we'll pursue,
We open our hearts to you,              
Blessed Mother dressed in blue.

Please help me Blessed Mother,
So beauty my heart will see,
The way best I can please you,
Mother make it known to me.

Help my heart never grow cold,
And be warm by showing love,
Put bright smiles upon my face,
More countless than stars above.

While in this world of darkness,
Mother show me how to be,
A light that can brightly shine,
Ridding darkness with beauty.

In Christ's presence help me stay,
Help me Mother show the way.

Dear Lord, help our unbelief,
Help us put our trust in you,
Help us believe you love us,
To you help us be drawn to.

When miseries are profuse,  
Remind us, what you went through,
Give us the strength that we need
To make our lives ones anew.    

Lord, when we are suffering,
Help us, Lord, in times of pain,   
Help us Lord to be at peace,
And at peace help us remain

Life has its difficulties,
Our souls Lord, put them at ease.
