Ave Maria, O maiden, O Mother,
Fondly thy children are calling to u
Thine are the graces unclaimed by another
Sinless and beautiful Star of the sea.
Ave Maria, the night shades are falling
Softly our voices arise unto thee;
Earth's lonely exiles Tor succour are calling:
Sinless and beautiful Star of the Sea.

Ave Maria, thy children are kneeling;
Words of endearment are whispered to thee;
Softly thy spirit upon us is stealing;
Sinless and beautiful Star of the Sea.
Ave Maria, thy arms are extending;
Gladly within them for shelter we flee;
Are thy sweet eyes on thy lonely ones bending?
Sinless and beautiful Star of the Sea.
