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