Lead Us Home O Mary

"Lead Us Home O Mary" is a gentle, uplifting recessional hymn often sung as the congregation departs after Mass. With its straightforward plea for Mary's protection, the song captures the quiet transition from the sanctuary back into the daily routine of life. It is a familiar sound in the choir loft as the priest processes out, sending the people forth with a sense of maternal care.

The verses directly echo the final dismissal of the liturgy, reminding the faithful that "the Mass is ended" and urging them to "proclaim the Good News." By invoking the Blessed Mother as a guide for the journey home, the choir provides a comforting, prayerful send-off. The singers ask her to keep everyone safe and deliver them from danger as they go out to love and serve the Lord, bridging the gap between Sunday worship and the week ahead.
