You Are Resplendent As the Moon, Mary
You Are Resplendent As the Moon, Mary
You are resplendent as the moon, Mary,
And all creation justly gives you praise.
Defeat the darkness of the Enemy.
Illuminate the night that shrouds my days.
When the nightfall rehearses my death
And the maples toss their confetti and die,
Your brilliance will outrival the moon’s.
The Madonna’s beauty makes the cosmos cry.
All-undefiled, spotless robe of the moon --
Generations rise and fall before you.
The same stories are retold; the sea moves --
Only you so steadfast are eternally new.
You are resplendent as the moon, Mary,
And all creation justly gives you praise.
Defeat the darkness of the Enemy.
Illuminate the night that shrouds my days.
You are resplendent as the moon, Mary,
And all creation justly gives you praise.
Defeat the darkness of the Enemy.
Illuminate the night that shrouds my days.
When the nightfall rehearses my death
And the maples toss their confetti and die,
Your brilliance will outrival the moon’s.
The Madonna’s beauty makes the cosmos cry.
All-undefiled, spotless robe of the moon --
Generations rise and fall before you.
The same stories are retold; the sea moves --
Only you so steadfast are eternally new.
You are resplendent as the moon, Mary,
And all creation justly gives you praise.
Defeat the darkness of the Enemy.
Illuminate the night that shrouds my days.
