catholic hymn

bring flowers of the rarest bring flowers of the fairest
from garden and woodland and hillside and dale
now I forgot a line
the praise of the loveliest rose of the vale
our

oh mary we crown thee with blossoms today
queen of the angels queen of the may
oh mary we crown thee with blossoms today
queen of the angels queen of the may

our voices ascending in harmony blending
oh thus may our hearts turn dear mother to thee
and thus shall we prove thee how truly we love thee
how dark without mary life's journey would be

this is a really beautiful song we sang every school day in may and also at may procession..which inspired a graduate thesis cross culturally once ..
