Lyrics

Queen of heaven, beautiful and fair,
Listen to thy loving children's prayer.
Mother of Mount Carmel 'tis to thee,
Saints and angels sing eternally.

Mary thou dids't give the light
On Mount Carmel's heaven-reaching heights.
Pure and gentle Virgin Mother Sweet,
Be the guiding light unto our feet.

Dearest Mother of Mount Carmel,
Beautiful and fair,
Hear, oh hear thy loving children.
Take us 'neath thy care.
