Tonight, we did a procession inside the church while saying the Rosary. Mass was done and food was served after wards. We drove little Monica home to the seniors apartment down the road from the church, too.
Here are three songs from this evening’s mass:
IMMACULATE MOTHER
Immaculate Mother we come at they call
And low at they altar before Thee we fall
Ave Ave Ave Maria
Ave Ave Ave Maria
In grief and temptation in joy and in pain
We’ll seek thee our Mother, nor seek thee in vain
Ave Ave Ave Maria
Ave Ave Ave Maria
MOTHER DEAR, O PRAY FOR ME
Mother dear, O pray for me, Whilst far from Heaven and thee;
I wander in a fragile bark o’er life’s tempestuous sea.
O Virgin Mother, from thy throne, so bright in bliss above,
Protect thy child and cheer my path with thy sweet smile of love.
**Chorus**
Mother dear, remember me, and never cease thy care;
Till in Heaven eternally, thy love and bliss I share.
Mother dear, O pray for me, should pleasure’s siren lay,
E’er tempt they child to wander far from virtue’s path away.
When thorns beset life’s devious way, and darkling waters flow.
Then Mary aid they weeping child, thyself a Mother show.
**Chorus**
Mother dear, remember me, and never cease thy care;
Till in Heaven eternally, thy love and bliss I share.
MOTHER OF CHRIST
Mother of Christ, Mother of Christ
What shall I ask of Thee?
I do not sigh, for the wealth of earth
For the joys that fade and flee
But, Mother of Christ, Mother of Christ
This do I long to see
The bliss untold which your arms enfold
The treasure upon your knee
Mother of Christ, Mother of Christ
I toss on a stormy sea
Oh, lift your child as a beacon light
To the port where I fain would be
And, Mother of Christ, Mother of Christ
This do I ask of thee
When the voyage is O’er.
Oh stand on the shore, And show Him at last to me.
