Our Lady of Peace

The peace that comes from Mary’s “yes”
Is that for which our hearts all yearn–
The end of all our earthly quest
To feel the love within Him burns

For us, our sin to sear away,
And we like Mary all become
With hearts that never tell Him “nay,”
So in us He may make His home.

We thank you, Mary, for His peace
Brought into world by your consent;
The love of Father is released
By Spirit, brings His Son He sent

Who’s raised above as heaven’s King.
You join Him there, as heaven’s Queen,
Who rules on earth as angels sing:
Make true the peace for which we dream.
