Text

Back of handout is the hymn "Serdeczna Matko" ("Stainless the Maiden") in Polish.

Representative English text:
1 Stainless the Maiden whom he chose for mother,
Nine months she waited, bearing Christ, our brother;
Think of her gladness when at last she saw him:
God in a manger, Bethlehem a heaven!

2 Lantern in darkness, when the sick are sighing,
Threshold of brightness, comfort for the dying,
High she is holding for a world adoring,
Hope of the nations, Jesus Christ, our brother.

3 Jesus has conquered; to his side he raised her,
Queen of the angels, every saint has praised her.
Yet, in her splendor, Mary goes on drawing
Sinners and exiles to their promised glory.
