Saint Anne, Mother of Our Lady, the Virgin Mary

July 24: Feast of Saint Anne

Mary’s Glory

1. Mary’s glory is recounted In the East and in the West.
   Giving Honor, magnify her, Queen of hearts and mother best.
   Giving Honor, magnify her, Queen of hearts and mother best.

2. He who made her and who chose her
   All the world cannot contain
   From the time of her creation
   He protected her from stain.

3. Hope of those who have contrition
   She makes sinners unafraid
   To approach her as a refuge
   And to beg her gentle aid.

4. She is known to be a fortress
   That no foe could ever take
   If you seek her, you will find her
   Set to battle for your sake.

5. Look with loving care upon us
   You who gave our savior breath
   Be our help and consolation
   Now and at the hour of death.
