Lyrics:   (source)
A-ve, Ma-ri-a! O Mai-den, O Mo-ther,
fon-dly thy child-ren are cal-ling on thee!
Thine are the gra-ces un-claimed by an-o-_ ther,
Sin-less and beau-ti-ful, star of the sea!
  Ma-ter a-ma-bi-lis, o-ra pro no-_ bis!
  Pray for thy child-ren who call up-on thee;
  A-ve, sanc-tis-si-ma! A-ve, pu-ris-si-ma!
  Sin-less and beau-ti-ful, star of the sea!


A-ve Ma-ri-a! The night shades are fal-ling;
sof-tly our voi-ces a-rise un-to thee;
earth's lone-ly ex-iles for suc-cor are cal-_ ling,
Sin-less and beau-ti-ful, star of the sea!
  Ma-ter a-ma-bi-lis, o-ra pro no-_ bis!
  Pray for thy child-ren who call up-on thee;
  A-ve, sanc-tis-si-ma! A-ve, pu-ris-si-ma!
  Sin-less and beau-ti-ful, star of the sea!

A-ve, Ma-ri-a! thy chil-dren are knee-ling,
words of en-dear-ment are mur-mured to thee;
soft-ly thy spi-rit up-on us is stea-_ ling,
Sin-less and beau-ti-ful, star of the sea!
  Ma-ter a-ma-bi-lis, o-ra pro no-_ bis!
  Pray for thy child-ren who call up-on thee;
  A-ve, sanc-tis-si-ma! A-ve, pu-ris-si-ma!
  Sin-less and beau-ti-ful, star of the sea!


A-ve, Ma-ri-a! thou por-tal of hea-ven,
har-bor of re-fuge, to thee do we flee;
lost in the dark-ness, by stor-my winds dri-_ ven,
Sin-less and beau-ti-ful, star of the sea!
  Ma-ter a-ma-bi-lis, o-ra pro no-_ bis!
  Pray for thy child-ren who call up-on thee;
  A-ve, sanc-tis-si-ma! A-ve, pu-ris-si-ma!
  Sin-less and beau-ti-ful, star of the sea!
