Our Lady of Europe, protector through time.
I raise today my heart to you,
to ask your help for Europe too.
Unite us in heart, unite us in mind.
Embrace us to the arms that bore our pride.
Bestow on us the light to see,
That only through Jesus can ever we be,
A people of love, united in will!
A Europe of faith, strong in Thee!
Lady of Europe, Lady of mine,
Blessings we seek, for all to find:
Bread for the hungry, shelter for the poor,
Safe journey for the traveller, And joy to be sure.
Let Europe be home for all that is true,
A treasure of hope, truth and good...
A haven of mercy, sense and goodwill...
A Europe strong in Jesus... For all to live!
Our Lady of Europe,
pray for your children.
Amen.
