O what consolation,
what sweetness,
what confidence,
what emotion fill my soul
when I pronounce thy sacred name,
or even only think of thee.
I thank God for having given thee,
for my good, so sweet,
so powerful, so lovely a name.
But I will not be content with merely
pronouncing thy name:
let my love for thee prompt me
ever to hail thee,
Mother of Perpetual Help.
