COME, Lady upon the heights;<br />

Mary, visit us,<br />

you who already brought such joy<br />

to the house <strong>of</strong> your kinswoman.<br />

COME, Help <strong>of</strong> the World<br />

remove the stains <strong>of</strong> sin<br />

and, in visiting your people,<br />

take away the threat <strong>of</strong> punishment.<br />

COME, Star and Light <strong>of</strong> the Sea,<br />

pour forth a ray <strong>of</strong> peace;<br />

set straight what is crooked,<br />

give innocence <strong>of</strong> life.<br />

COME visit us, we pray you,<br />

strengthen our vigor<br />

with the energy <strong>of</strong> a holy impulse,<br />

lest our soul waver.<br />

Come, Lady, upon the heights<br />

COME, Royal Scepter,<br />

bring back the wave <strong>of</strong> those in error<br />

to the unity <strong>of</strong> the faith<br />

by which the citizens <strong>of</strong> heaven were saved.<br />

COME, that together with you<br />

we may ceaselessly praise the Son,<br />

with the Father and the Holy Spirit;<br />

may they give us their help. Amen.<br />
