No. 79 O purest of creatures

THE BLESSED VIRGIN

O purest of creatures

The Immaculate Conception
Father Faber
Nicola A. Montani

Slowly

1.
O purest of the creatures! Sweet Mother, sweet maid! The one spotless womb wherein Jesus was laid!
Dark night hath come down on us Mother! And we
Look out for thy shining, sweet Star of the Sea!
Look out for thy shining, sweet Star of the Sea!

2.
Deep night hath come down on this rough-spoken world, And the banners of darkness are boldly unfurl'd:
And the tempest-tost Church all her eyes are on Thee, They look to thy shining, sweet Star of the Sea!
They look to thy shining, sweet Star of the Sea!

3.
The Church doth what God had first taught her to do; He looked o'er the world to find hearts that were true; Thro' the ages He looked, and He found none but thee, And He loved thy clear shining, sweet Star of the Sea! And He loved thy clear shining, sweet Star of the Sea!

4.
He gazed on thy soul; it was spotless and fair;
For the empire of sin it had never been there;
None had ever owned thee, dear Mother, but He,
And He bless'd thy clear shining, sweet Star of the Sea! And He bless'd thy clear shining, sweet Star of the Sea!
