English Translations
In her glorious lap lies
A star like babe
In our worries and pain
Comes the harbinger of peace and light
Wipe away our struggle and hate
Satisfy our hunger and strife
O, salve of the afflicted, o little Child of Bethlehem
Life has worn our hopes
Dreams have moved our spirits
Pain walks our paths
To take our peace and might
Walk this journey with us
Liberate us from our shackles
Build our broken lives
Fill us with your peace
O, salve of the afflicted, o little Child of Bethlehem
The evil mind brings
Destruction in our oneness
Weapons have taken our hopes
For salvation the world waits
Wipe away war and hate
Bring universal love
Bring our hearts together
Let peace reign among us
O, salve of the afflicted, o little Child of Bethlehem
