Ave Maria

Ave Maria Lyrics

Ave Maria!
Maiden mild!
Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou canst hear amid the wild
'Tis thou, 'tis thou canst save amid despair,
We slumber safely till the 'morrow,
Though we be man – outcast, reviled.
Oh, maiden, see a maiden's sorrow,
Oh, Mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave maria.
Ave maria, gratia plena,
Maria, gratia plena,
Maria, gratia plena,
Ave, ave dominus,
Dominus tecum

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!
Ave Maria!
