Queen of heaven, show us the path we must follow
And crush the serpent’s head below
Protect all men, women, and children
Guide us to your Son, Queen of heaven
–
We are weary, toiling in this valley of tears
But with you as our guide, there is nothing to fear
Light our path, oh Morning Star
To where you and your Son are
For you are the moon in our soul’s night
Reflecting the sun’s glorious light
–
Queen of heaven, show us the path we must follow
And crush the serpent’s head below
Protect all men, women, and children
Guide us to your Son, Queen of heaven
–
Shower us with your gentle grace
And show us how to behold His glorious Face
In all that we think, do, and say
Dying to ourselves every single day
Standing fast against temptation and vice
Knowing that He paid such a heavy price
–
Queen of heaven, show us the path we must follow
And crush the serpent’s head below
Protect all men, women, and children
Guide us to your Son, Queen of heaven
–
Make our souls like a fertile land
Tended to by your loving hand
Hold us near and with your graces sow
Seeds of charity so that we may grow
Into a rose garden like no other
A gift to your Son from His dear mother
–
Queen of heaven, show us the path we must follow
And crush the serpent’s head below
Protect all men, women, and children
Guide us to your Son, Queen of heaven
