MARY LET PERPETUAL SUCCOUR

1. Mary, let Perpetual Succour;
   Be the answer, to our prayer,
   For thy Son of all the wretched,
   Gives to thee perpetual care.

Chorus:
       Ever ready help hast thou,
       Let thy children feel it now.

2. Of our passions we are weary,
   Weary of the yoke of sin;
   Yet though longing to be holy,
   Faint of heart, we ne’er begin.
3. Though we try to rise, yet ever,
   Down in misery we fall;
   So like feeble children sadly,
   For our Mother’s help we call.
4. Let us feel thy help in sorrow,
   Mourners look for joy to thee;
   Spurn not God’s unhappy creatures,
   Whatsoe’er their faults may be.
5. Succour all, both Priests and people,
   Who to thee their homage pay,
   Toiling men and praying women,
   Help them on thy festal day.
