Ave Maria lyrics

Ave Maria! Maiden mild...
Oh! listen to a maidens prayr,
For thou canst hear them in the wild.
Tis thou, tis thou canst hear amid despair.
We slumbered safely til the morrow
Though we, by men outcast, reviled;
Oh maiden, see a maidens sorrow.
Oh mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria.... Ahh...

Ave Maria,
Gratia plena.
Maria, gratia plena;
Maria, gratia plena.
Ave, ave Dominus,
Dominus tecum.

The murky caverns air so heavy
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smild
Oh maiden, hear a maiden pleading;
Oh mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria...
