On This Day, O Beautiful Mother =============================== w: Rohr's "Favorite Catholic Melodies", 1857 m: Louis Lambillotte inst. arr: Lance Chandler, 2005 [Refrain] On this day, O beautiful Mother, On this day we give thee our love. Near thee, Madonna, fondly we hover, Trusting thy gentle care to prove. [Verse 1] On this day we ask to share, Dearest Mother, thy sweet care; Aid us ere our feet astray Wander from thy guiding way. [Refrain] [Verse 2] Queen of angels, deign to hear Lisping children's humble prayer; Young hearts gain, O Virgin pure, Sweetly to thyself allure. [Refrain]
