Ave Maria - Kimberley Locke

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 despair

We slumber safely till the 'morrow

Though we be 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 pleading

Oh, Mother, hear a suppliant child

Ave Maria!

Ave Maria!
