Queen and Lady of Mount Carmel! Seen by Prophet’s mystic gaze; Shown above the holy mountain As Elias kneels and prays. Cloud-like rising from the ocean; Pure and free from every stain, She does claim his heart’s devotion Through the ages to remain. Mother of Mount Carmel, hear! When we call, oh! be thou near! (Repeat) To the Prophet’s sons descends As a sacred legacy, Love of Mary’s pure Conception, Virgin Mother yet to be! Tender Mother, she has clothed us With a double garment fair: Pledge of heavenly protection, Is the Scapular we wear. Mother of Mount Carmel, hear! When we call, oh! be thou near! (Repeat) Queen and Beauty of Mount Carmel! Christ’s dear Gift on Calvary! Refuge sure in every danger! Confident we fly to thee. Mother, hear our humble pleading, Grant the favors we implore; To thy love we are appealing, Bless us now and evermore. Mother of Mount Carmel, hear! When we call, oh! be thou near! (Repeat)
However sincere Fr. Angelo is telling us of all the devotions/stipulation to obtain/worthy of the promise of Our Lady to St. Simon Stock...were added years later. Yes, they all show our piety and devotion to Our Lady...but...what Our Lady said and what was believed by St. Simon and his hermits/monks was, "Whoever dies wearing this [scapular] will never suffer eternal fire.," because that is what she said...no more, no less. She added no stipulation to obtain the promise other than wear it. When my mother was near death, I took my scapular off and put it around her neck...I have not doubt that she is in heaven because of Our Lady's promise. She saw my scapular and never denied the promise...but she believe the promise. And that's all it took. Yes, it is the proper thing to be enrolled and have devotion to Our Lad of Mt. Carmel...but what better devotion could there be than tto believe in Our Lady's promise? "Nuff said.

Queen and Lady of Mount Carmel!
Seen by Prophet’s mystic gaze;
Shown above the holy mountain
As Elias kneels and prays.
Cloud-like rising from the ocean;
Pure and free from every stain,
She does claim his heart’s devotion
Through the ages to remain.
Mother of Mount Carmel, hear!
When we call, oh! be thou near! (Repeat)
To the Prophet’s sons descends
As a sacred legacy,
Love of Mary’s pure Conception,
Virgin Mother yet to be!
Tender Mother, she has clothed us
With a double garment fair:
Pledge of heavenly protection,
Is the Scapular we wear.
Mother of Mount Carmel, hear!
When we call, oh! be thou near! (Repeat)
Queen and Beauty of Mount Carmel!
Christ’s dear Gift on Calvary!
Refuge sure in every danger!
Confident we fly to thee.
Mother, hear our humble pleading,
Grant the favors we implore;
To thy love we are appealing,
Bless us now and evermore.
Mother of Mount Carmel, hear!
When we call, oh! be thou near! (Repeat)
