Ave Maria lyrics

Ave Maria, maiden mild

Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer

For thou can't hear amid the wild

This thou, this thou can't save amid, despair.

We slumber safe until tomorrow

Though we by man outcast relieved

Oh, maiden, see a maiden's sorrow

Oh, mother, hear a suppliant child.

Ave Maria, gracia plena.

Ave Maria, maiden mild

Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer

For thou can't hear amid the wild

This thou, this thou can't save amid, despair.

We slumber safe until tomorrow

Though we by man outcast relieved

Oh, maiden, see a maiden's sorrow

Oh, mother, hear a suppliant child.

Ave Maria,

Maria....

Maria, gracia plena

Maria, gracia, Maria.
