Composed by Rev. Fr. Bienvenido Umandap on the occasion of the Quadricentennial anniversary of the arrival of Our Lady of Piat

LOVE AND DEVOTION

From the shores of Macao

To our valley you came

Oh Mary of Piat

You’re God’s miracle of love

From Sixteen hundred and four

To two thousand and four

Oh Mary of Piat

Icon of devotion to us.

Refrain:

We give our love and devotion

To Our Lady of Piat

Mary, our Mother and Queen

The years we count

Four hundred by now

Yet countless are the blessings

From God through you somehow.

II

Blessed are you among women

Blessed is the fruit of your womb

Oh Mother of God

You’re God’s vessel of love

Blessed is she who believed

The fulfillment of God’s word

Oh Mother of all

Model of devotion to us

(repeat refrain twice except last two lines)

CODA:

Yet countless are the blessings

(Four hundred years of blessings)

Yet countless are the blessings

(Four hundred years of blessings)

Yet countless are the blessings

(Four hundred years of blessings)

Love and devotion

To our Lady of Piat

Music & Lyrics by Msgr. Narciso Allag

YENA NAC CAGAYAN

Refrain:

Marayao Vigen na Piat

Assin na mekalulungag

Sikao y akkigutan

Yena ka na Cagayan

Pagayaya o nu daddam

Itavvung mi pamman nikao

Y emmi nga irattal ta utun na altar

Ginnam mu o Señora

Y ana-ana mi ira (REF)

Tallo sippo a marulo

Kiddawan mi nikao

O yena mi a marayao

Ta arubangmi sangao

O idducan a yena

Y matam ilipem ngana (REF)

Lyrics by Archbishop Diosdado Talamayan

PIAT HYM

Refrain: Cagayanos we truly our blest

Piat's Queen draws us in her arms to rest

Since our fathers' days

She has among us sown

The love for Jesus

Her own dearest Son

Behold her with the infant babe

The Son of God her loving child

From whom all favors she obtains

For all who come and seek her aid. (REF)

Behold her with the rosary

She bids us pray from day to day

That by the faith we have in God

From his own path we may not stray. (REF)

Behold her with a mantle blue

Who to her Son remained so true

Help us we pray in Cagayan

To live in peace in this our land. (REF)

Virgin of Piat Lady of our vale

Thru highways, rivers, bario trails

In all our needs we come to you

In your Son's love our hearts renew. (REF)
