Immaculate Mary - Ave Maria Lyrics

IMMACULATE MARY

1. Immaculate Mary Our hearts are on fire:

That title so wondrous Fills all our desire.

Chorus:

Ave, ave, ave, Maria; Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

2. We pray for God's glory, May His Kingdom come;

We pray for His Vicar, Our Father and Rome.

3. We pray for our Mother, The Church upon earth;

And bless, sweetest Lady, The land of our birth.

4. We pray for all sinners And souls that now stray,

From Jesus and Mary In heresy's way.

5. In grief and temptation, In joy, or in pain,

We'll seek thee, our Mother, Nor seek thee in vain.

6. O bless us, dear Lady, With blessings from heaven,

And to our petitions Let answer be given.

7. Now to God be all glory, And worship for aye,

And to God's Virgin Mother An endless Ave.

8. Our homes and our country We place in thy keeping,

To love and to serve thee In gladness and weeping.

9. We pray for the Church In the hour of her mourning

We pray for all sinners, Still deaf to thy warning.

10 We pray for the Vicar Of Christ on whom presses,

The weight of the world And its cruel distresses.

O Queen of the Rosary, Be thou our salvation,

Our refuge in life, And our true consolation.
