Ave Maria Lyrics
Ave maria! maiden mild!
O listen to a maidens prayer!
For thou canst hear amid the wild
Tis thou, tis thou canst save amid despair.
We slumber safely til the morrow,
Tho we, by men, outcast, reviled;
O maiden! see a maidens sorrow -
O mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave maria!
Ave maria! undefiled!
The flinty couch whereon were sleeping
Shall seem with down of eider piled,
If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping
The murky caverns airs so heavy
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled;
O maiden! hear a maidens pleading!
O mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave maria!
Ave maria! stainless styled!
O fiends of air and earth the essence
From this their wonted haunt exiled
Shall flee before thy holy presence
We bow beneath our care so laden
To thy dear guidance reconciled;
Then hear, o maiden, simple maiden!
And for a father hear a child!
Ave maria!
O listen to a maidens prayer!
For thou canst hear amid the wild
Tis thou, tis thou canst save amid despair.
We slumber safely til the morrow,
Tho we, by men, outcast, reviled;
O maiden! see a maidens sorrow -
O mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave maria!
The flinty couch whereon were sleeping
Shall seem with down of eider piled,
If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping
The murky caverns airs so heavy
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled;
O maiden! hear a maidens pleading!
O mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave maria!
O fiends of air and earth the essence
From this their wonted haunt exiled
Shall flee before thy holy presence
To thy dear guidance reconciled;
Then hear, o maiden, simple maiden!
And for a father hear a child!
Ave maria!

A fun little fact this is NOT a Christmas song...It's about the Annunciation which is celebrated in May.
I meant to say March not May
