Bring flowers of the rarest by Mary E. Walsh — Lyrics
1. Bring flowers of the fairest, bring flowers of the rarest,
From garden and woodland and hillside and vale;
Our full hearts are swelling, our glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest Rose of the vale.
Refrain
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms to day,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.
2. Our voices ascending, in harmony blending,
Oh! thus may our hearts turn, dear Mother to thee;
Oh! thus shall we prove thee how truly we love thee,

About Bring flowers of the rarest
This hymn paints a vivid scene of offering the finest flowers as a tribute to Mary. The text expresses deep devotion and love, with the singers' hearts swelling and voices blending in harmony. They pledge their loyalty and seek her protection, acknowledging how dark life would be without her. The SA voicing makes this an accessible choice for two-part choirs, and the English lyrics clearly convey the sacred message of reverence and petition to the Mother of God.
