O Queen of peerless majesty

O queen of peerless majesty, maría!
Thou glorious queen of victory, maría!
All to Thee subjected lies,
All creation lifts its eyes:

(refrain)

O stand beside us,
Protect and guide us
In death and life,
In ev'ry strife, maría!
O morning star that scatters night, maría!
Upon our darkness spread thy light, maría!
When we toss on stormy waves,
Thou the star that leads and saves:

(refrain)

O stand beside us,
Protect and guide us
In death and life,
In ev'ry strife, maría!
O heaven's portal, virgin pure, maría!
An entrace safe for us procure, maría!
Show us mercy when we die,
Lead us to thy Son on high:

(refrain)

O stand beside us,
Protect and guide us
In death and life,
In ev'ry strife, maría! .
