1	Because you live again, O Rose Who bloomed in Guadalupe's snows, In this your image, flow'ring fair, Our songs as flowers fill the air.
2	O Virgin, Rose in brambles grown, Who chose this people for your own Your flow'ring image glorifies The tangled brushwood of our lives.
3	God made you lovely past compare, Your life was one unfolding prayer; And then He fashioned you again, An image which He gave to men.
4	We pray, protect us as your own And intercede at Heaven's throne; While here we kneel before your face, Send down a ray of saving grace.
