At the Walk to Mary Dinner on the evening of May 1st, the Chesterton Choir performed a song written and composed by Douglas Taylor-Weiss and Michael Miller, the sacred music director of the diocese of Green Bay. Michael is a convert to the Catholic faith and someone who attributes much of his conversion to Relevant Radio. This relatively new song is titled The Champion Hymn:

Mirror of the Resurrected, you reflect the Savior’s face;
Shelter us, the unprotected, Grand Protectress of this place;
You whose womb he well accepted, Lady, Champion full of grace.
Salve, Regina caeli!

As inscribed in prophet’s pages, shadowed by the Spirit’s light,
Through your fiat all earth’s ages speak in tongues of fire and might;
Pentecost unfolds in stages where your welcome fells the night.
Salve, Regina caeli!

Queen of Heav’n, our pleas appealing, Virgin, Mother, Fountain, Seal,
Lady in the glade revealing goodness, help, obedience, zeal;
Blessed is your heart concealing, bless’d imploring, “Jesus, heal.”
Salve, Regina caeli!

You, dear Mother, saw your daughter laden with her sheaf of grain;
’Mid the fir and maple sought her, made the sinners’ doomsday plain;
Offering up the Blood that bought her, she could hear conversion gain.
Salve, Regina caeli!

“Teach the children of this nation, of this wilderness below;
Have them sign their own salvation and prepare for grace to flow.”
Thus Adele as her oblation, Christ’s immortal seeds did sow.
Salve, Regina caeli!

Mother, save us from earth’s sadness by the peace we here receive;
Heaven’s light dims this world’s madness, hallows all that we perceive;
Pilgrims drawn by gentle gladness, we see not, yet we believe.
Salve, Regina caeli!

We give thanks for your election in the brilliance of his will;
We give thanks for your protection in the fire and in the chill;
At the hour of his inspection, pray that our frail hearts be still.
Salve, Regina caeli!

Mirror of the Resurrected, show us to his glorious face;
He from heav’n has now effected signal wonders in this place;
You unveil the Church perfected, Mary, Champion of the race.
Salve, Regina caeli!
