| Lyrics: |
1.
A-ve Ma-ri-a! bles-_-sed Maid!
Li-ly of E-den's fra-_-grant shade! _
Who can ex-press _ _ the love
that nur-_-tured thee,
so pure _ and sweet,
ma-king thy heart a shel-ter meet _
for Je-_-sus' ho-_-_-ly Dove! |
4.
A Son that never did amiss,
that never shamed his Mother's kiss,
nor crossed her fondest prayer:
e'en from the Tree he deigned to bow
for her his agonized brow,
her, his sole earthly care. |
2.
Ave Maria! Mother blest,
to whom, caressing and caressed,
clings the eternal Child;
favored beyond Archangels' dream,
when first on thee with tendered gleam
thy new-born Savior smiled |
5.
Ave Maria! thou whose name
all but adoring love may claim,
yet may we reach thy shrine;
for he, thy Son and Savior, vows
to crown all lowly lofty brows
with love and joy like thine. A-men |
3.
Thou wept'st meek Maiden, Mother mild,
thou wept'st upon thy sinless Child,
thy very heart was riven:
and yet, what mourning matron here
would deem thy sorrows bought too dear
by all on this side heaven! |
