Centaurea Cyanus

To follow our Savior, O let us endeavor
To keep His example before our eyes ever!
What though the path leads through labor and pain!
Light is the hardship compared with the gain!

Let us suffer what trials and sorrows we may,
God is all powerful, He will repay.
O Mary! we lift up our hands and implore!
Help us, oh help us! till life’s journey is o’er.
