HYMN Lyrics Text: O Purest Of Creatures | Marian Song

1. O purest of creatures!

Sweet mother, sweet maid!

The one spotless woman

Wherein Jesus was laid.

Dark night hath come down on us

Mother and we 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 unfurled.

And the tempest-tossed Church

all her eyes are on thee.

They look to thy shining,

sweet star of the sea.

3. He gazed on thy soul.

It was spotless and fair.

For the empire of sin

it had never been there.

None ever had owned thee,

dear mother, but he,

And He blessed thy clear shining.

sweet star of the sea.
