Lyrics

Ave Maria

[Verse 1]

Ave Maria!

Maiden mild!

Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer

For thou canst hear amid the wild

This thou, this  thou canst save amid, despair

We slumber safely until the morrow

Though we've by man outcast reviled

Oh, maiden, see a maiden's sorrow

Oh, Mother, hear a suppliant child!

Ave Maria

[Chorus]

Ave Maria, gratia plena

Maria, gratia plena

Maria, gratia plena

Ave, ave dominus

Dominus tecum

[Verse 2]

The murky cavern's air so heavy

Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled

Oh, maiden, hear a maiden pleading

Oh, Mother, hear a suppliant child

Ave Maria

[Chorus]

Ave Maria, gratia plena

Maria, gratia plena

Maria, gratia plena

Ave, ave dominus

Dominus tecum
