QUEEN OF THE WORLD

Queen of the world the stars around her spread,
Upon the Summit of the world she stands.
Her heel is set upon the serpent’s head,
And grace falls shining from her outstretched hands.

2. Queen of all pain and sorrow, she implores
Our peace and healing with her dying Son;
And Queen of glory, opening golden doors,
She gives the golden treasures he has won.

3. For he has made her mother of all lands,
And all our prayers she lifts above the sky,
And all our grace in favour from her hands,
Queen of our intercession, hear our cry.
