[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]
