Ave maria

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 dispair 
We slumber safely till the morrow 
Though we’ve by 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 pleadin’ 
Oh, mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave maria
