QUEEN OF THE
HOLY ROSARY
Queen of the Holy Rosary!
Oh, bless us as we pray,
And offer thee our roses
In garlands day by day;
While from our Father’s garden,
With loving hearts and bold,
We gather to thine honour
Buds white, and red, and gold
Queen of the Holy Rosary!
Each mystery blends with
thine,
The sacred life of Jesus
In every step divine.
Thy soul was His fair
garden,
Thy virgin breast His throne,
Thy thoughts His faithful mirror
Reflecting Him alone.
Sweet Lady of the Rosary!
White roses let us bring,
And lay them round thy footstool
Before our Infant King.
For nestling in thy bosom
God’s Son was fain to be
The Child of thy obedience,
And spotless purity.

ON DEVOTION OF THE ROSARY
This devotion, so great and so confident, to the august Queen of Heaven, has never shone forth with such brilliancy as when the militant Church of God has seemed to be endangered by the violence of heresy spread abroad, or by an intolerable moral corruption, or by the attacks of powerful enemies. Ancient and modern history and the more sacred annals of the Church bear witness to public and private supplications addressed to the Mother of God, to the help she has granted in return, and to the peace and tranquillity which she had obtained from God. Hence her illustrious titles of helper, consoler, mighty in war, victorious, and peace-giver. And amongst these is specially to be commemorated that familiar title derived from the Rosary by which the signal benefits she has gained for the whole of Christendom have been solemnly perpetuated.
