      Horch der A-bend-glo-cke Ton. 
      A-ve Ma-ri-a. 
      Im Na-chen kniet der Shif-fer schon. 
      A-ve Ma-ri-a. 
      Durch Spaeh-roth hallt es weit und breit 
      Ge-gruss-est seist du. Rei-ne Maid. 
      A-ve Ma-ri-a. A-ve Ma-ri-a.

      (Solo) 
      Die du throhnst in wol-ken-glut, 
      A-ve Ma-ri-a, 
      Nimm uns-re Lieb’ in dei-ne Hut, 
      A-ve Ma-ri-a, 
      O, lass wie die-ses A-bend-schein 
      Sie hei-ter und voll Frie-den sein, 
      Sie hei-ter und voll Frie-den sein, 
      A-ve, a-ve Ma-ri-a.  | 
      
       (Choir) 
      Hark the sound of ev'-ning bells! 
      A-ve Ma-ri-a; 
      the boat-man in the shal-lop kneels. 
      A-ve Ma-ri-a. 
      The sounds throu' glow-ing Heav-ens spread, 
      to greet thee, ho-ly Vir-gin Maid. 
      A-ve Ma-ri-a, A-ve Ma-ri-a.

      (Solo) 
      Thou en-throned on clouds a-bove, 
      A-ve Ma-ri-a. 
      be thou the guar-dian of our love, 
      A-ve Ma-ri-a;  
      and like the ev'-nings glow-ing sky 
      Let joy and peace a-round it lie, 
      Let joy and peace a-round it lie! 
      A-ve, A-ve Ma-ri-a;  |
