The “Virgen del Pilar” in Saragossa
Stand on the pillar where the Virgin stood
Custom and devotion clothe her
She wears a dress that shines with gold.

The Holy Virgin, as on angel’s wings,
Came from afar to the foreign land,
To bring a blessing to a new world
Solace and graces from Heaven’s shore.

Thus came the Virgin also to me
A ray from God to my heart’s door.
Heaven sends rays into our world
Mayest thou too be the wonderful pillar
