When creation was begun
God had chosen you to be
Mother of his blessed son
Holy Mary full of grace
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
When creation was restored
You were there beside the Lord
Whom you cherished and adored
Holy Mary full of grace
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
Lead us to your child above
He will teach us how to love
How to pity and forgive
Holy Mary full of grace
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
