O Mother of Perpetual Help,
grant that I may forever invoke
your most powerful name,
which is the safeguard of the living
and the salvation of the dying.
O purest Mary, O sweetest Mary,
let your name forever be on my lips.
Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me,
whenever I call on you;
for, in all my temptations,
in all my needs,
I shall never cease to call on you,
ever repeating your sacred name, Mary.
O what consolation, what sweetness,
what confidence, what emotion,
fill my soul when I utter your sacred name,
or even only think of you.
I thank the Lord for having given you,
for my good so sweet, so powerful,
so lovely a name.
But I will not be content with merely
uttering your name.
Let my love for you prompt me
to forever call you, Mother of Perpetual Help.
