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 />
