Gracious Sav­ior, who didst hon­or
Womankind as wo­man’s Son;
Very Man, though God be­got­ten,
And with God the Fa­ther One;
Grant our wo­man­hood may be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

Jesus, Son of hu­man mo­ther,
Bless our mo­ther­hood, we pray;
Give us grace to lead our child­ren,
Draw them to Thee day by day;
May our sons and daugh­ters be
Dedicated, Lord, to Thee.

Thou who didst with Jo­seph la­bor,
Nor didst hum­ble work dis­dain,
Grant we may Thy foot­steps fol­low
Patiently through toil and pain;
May our qui­et home life be
Lived, O Lord, in Thee, to Thee.

Thou who didst go forth in sor­row,
Toiling for the souls of men,
Thou who shalt draw all men to Thee,
Though de­spised, re­ject­ed then;
Humble though our in­flu­ence be,
Use it in the world for Thee.
