Teach me to be like unto thee
Most gracious Holy Mother
For you loved Our Lord perfectly
Unlike any other1
Bless me, Dearest Mother
And keep me close to thy pure heart
Because it's hard living in this world
That someday I will part2
Hide me, Purest Virgin
Beneath thy mantle, blue
And keep me out of sin's way
Help me be like you3
Keep me out of harm's way
My Lady, Queen on High
Don't let temptation take me
Please hear my desperate cry4
Love me, Blessed Mother
As to you I run
Help me so that one day
I may meet your Holy Son5
Hold me, Lady Purest
When I'm drawing my last breaths
So that I won't fear Hell nor Purgatory
As I'm facing death
