Heaven smiles down on earth, and then Thrice welcome kindly spring. With the myriad gifts you bring! Earth smiles up to heaven again ! O Mary, our Mother and Queen ! We invoke thy sweet name, we implore they protection. Be with us in our pains to comfort and assuage our sufferings; in our sorrows and tribulations be our consolation and our joy, our help in temptation, and at the supreme hour, O powerful Mother! terror of Satan, strength of the weak give to thy children the courage of the strong.
