Mary! How Sweetly Falls That Word!

Unnamed Tune.
Mary! How sweetly falls that word!
On my enraptured ear!
Oft do I breathe, in accents low,
which sound when none are near.
Chorus:
Sing, O my lips and loudly proclaim:
O Mary, O Mary, how sweet is thy name!
Sing, O my lips
and loudly proclaim;
O Mary, O Mary, how sweet is thy name!
Sweet as the warbling of a bird,
Sweet as a mother’s voice;
So sweet to me is that dear name,
It makes my soul rejoice.
Chorus.
Bright as the glittering stars appear,
Bright as the moonbeams shine,
So bright in my mind’s eye is seen
Thy loveliness divine!
Chorus.
Through thee I offer my requests
And when my prayer is done,
In ecstasy sublime, I see
Thee seated near thy Son.
Chorus.
Passionate Catholic.
Being a Catholic is a way of life - a love affair "Religion must be like the air we breathe..."- St John Bosco
Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.
This site, which is now using the Traditional Calendar, will mainly concentrate on Daily Prayers, Novenas and the Memorials and Feast Days of our friends in Heaven, the Saints who went before us and the great blessings the Church provides in our Catholic Monthly Devotions.
This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975)
This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
PLEASE ADVISE ME OF ANY GLARING TYPOS etc - In June 2021 I lost 100% sight in my left eye and sometimes miss errors. Thank you and I pray all those who visit here will be abundantly blessed. Pax et bonum! 🙏

Dear Ana St Paul, Is it possible I may use this first image from your email today, for my elderly mother’s funeral card? She is 99 and the task of her burial has fallen to me. She is not very near death, but it is only a matter of time now. I would need an image without the words. Thank you for your kind consideration.
Sincerely, Catherine Croisette

Hi Catherine its you! Of course you may but we aware that I found the image on Google and, therefore, I have no knowledge of who owns it.
Please send your email address in order for me to send you the image without the prayer.
God bless!- I was just now writing to you on Paypal but did not see your email address there. Thank you for all your most generous assistance. My email is anasaintpaul@gmail.com
🤗💖🙏 Ana
