Lyrics:
Marija, Marija, skaisčiausia lelija,
Tu švieti aukštai ant Dangaus!
Palengvink vergiją, pagelbėk žmoniją,
Išgelbėk nuo priešo baisaus!
Palengvink vergiją, pagelbėk žmoniją,
Išgelbėk nuo priešo baisaus!
Marija, Marija, skaisčiausia lelija,
Dangaus karaliene šviesi!
Užstok prieš Aukščiausią Tu žmogų menkiausią!
Nes viska pas Dievą gali!
Užstok prieš Aukščiausią Tu žmogų menkiausią!
Nes viska pas Dievą gali!

Šis chorinis išpildymas yra pats tinkamiausias šio kūrinio išpidymui , visam kūrinio grožiui pavaizduoti. Lyg tai visa tauta prįašytų Švenčiauios Dievo Motinos pagalbos ir užtarimo ir šiuo sunkmečio laikotarpiu. Marija neatmesk mūsų maldavimų. Amen.

English Translation: This choral fulfillment is the most suitable for the performance of this work, to depict the whole beauty of the work. It is as if the whole nation has written the help and intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in this time of hardship. Mary do not reject our supplications. Amen.

Thank you so much for this beautiful music!! I love this hymn and it's been almost 30 years since I've heard it - that was when our Lithuanian church closed in area I live in Indiana.

@@evaldasradisauskas8448 The church closed in 2008 but ceremoniously, celebrating the parish's history, founding, and contributions to the community. The building still stands. A lot has happened since 2008. Everything from the church was either stored or given to other churches to continue to be used for liturgies. The pipe organ was relocated just 8 miles away at another Catholic Church, dedicated in 2014, is in continuous use, and just last year celebrated its 100th anniversary. The extensive collection of ethnic Lithuanian music has been placed in a permanent archive. The baptismal font of the receiving parish has recently been moved to the front of the church and a cornerstone placed which is dedicated to St. Casimir's parish, along with 3 others, two of which were other consolidated ethnic parishes. As of late, a flag raising has occurred yearly in the town commemorating the 1991 independence of Lithuania.

For almost 50 years over 1 million Lithuanians around the world sang this hymn asking Mother Mary to save Lithuania from the "horrible enemy" (Soviet Russia)....in 1991 their prayers were finally answered.

And the last time I heard this hymn live was when my church, St. Casimir’s in Worcester Massachusetts closed. So Sad!
