Mary of England, honoured was your name

When first the Saxons to our Island came

Kings knelt in homage, peasants sang their praise

This was your Dowry in those bygone days

Through fields and woodland pilgrims made their way

Angelus bells rang, people knelt to pray

This was your garden, your beautiful place

Mary of England, Hail full of Grace.

Mary of England come to us once more

Shine brightly on us as you did before

Gather your children lost and torn apart

Keep us together in your loving heart

When Satan taunts us, take away our fears

When sorrows hurt us wipe away our tears

Children, we reach for a Mother`s embrace

Mary of England, Hail full of Grace

[basingstokeborn]

Mary of England, as we sing your praise

Hilltops and Valleys echo our AVES

Birds sing their love songs, flowers bend to pray

Mother of Jesus, come to us today

Walk in your garden as in days before

Let great processions honour you once more

O how we long for your heavenly face

Mary of England, Hail full of Grace

[basingstokeborn]

Mary of England pilgrims we will be

And lwith our fathers we will honour thee

And in those places where they knelt to pray

We too will love you and our homage pay

Lips will proclaim you, eager hands applaud

Hail Queen of Heaven, Mother of ourj God

Womah most blest of the whole human race

Mary of England, Hail full of Grace.
