PRAYER AGAINST TEMPTATION.
Oh, Mary ! Mother Mary!
We place our trust in thee
Our faith shall never wary,
Though weak the flesh may be.
Too oft with steps unwary,
From duty we have bent:
Oh, Mary! Mother Mary!
Thou teach us to repent.
The grisly form of terror
Now rises on our way;
Now more seductive error
“Would lead our feet astray.
Satan is strong and wary,
But thou wilt crush his might:
Oh, Mary! Mother Mary!
Strengthen us in the fight.
From dangerous occasions
That blind, imprudent eyes
From treacherous persuasions
That point not to the skies.
From mirth too light and airy,
From thought too sad and deep :
Oh, Mary! Mother Mary!
Thy little children keep.
Let us remember ever
The presence of the Lord;
Let us with fond endeavor
Obey his holy “Word.
As Monster, or as Fairy,
Satan may take the field
But Mary ! Mother Mary !
Thy name will be our shield.
