Some five centuries ago,
A miracle play was written:
It was ‘The Life of St. Meriadoc’,
He sailed to our land.
Close to Carn Brea,
He sought a building in the town,
The Chapel of Blessed Mary,
Where he might preach the truth.
Blessed Mary of Cornwall
Bring your grace to us,
And show yourself on some high rock,
Star of the Blue Sea.
Grant a blessing upon our nation,
And bestow your goodness everywhere;
By the beauteous vision of your face,
Inspire us to enact the Father’s will.
Queen of heaven and earth,
Gentle and modest Mother of Cornwall,
Protect our precious motherland of Kernow!
Mary, Blessed Virgin,
Reveal yourself to us
And restore all goodness to Cornwall:
And deliver us from our troubles.
Sweet Lady of Cornwall,
Why do we utterly fail to glimpse you
Beside our wellsprings
Or within some sacred enclosure?
Though we be few in number,
We are loyal in spirit:
Oh good and holy virgin,
I dedicate my song to you!
Blessed Mary of Cornwall
Bring your grace to us,
And show yourself on some high rock,
Star of the Blue Sea.
Grant a blessing upon our nation,
And bestow your goodness everywhere;
By the beauteous vision of your face,
Inspire us to enact the Father’s will.
Queen of heaven and earth,
Gentle and modest Mother of Cornwall,
Protect our precious motherland of Kernow!
Mary, Blessed Virgin,
Reveal yourself to us
And restore all goodness to Cornwall:
And deliver us from our troubles.
Restore your peace to Cornwall.
