      | Lyrics: |  
      | 1. A-ve Ma-ri-_-a! bles-_-sed Maid!
 Li-ly of E-_-den's frag-rant shade!
 Who can ex-press the love
 that nur-tured thee, _ so pure and sweet,
 ma-king thy heart a shel-ter meet
 for Je-sus' ho-ly Dove!
 | 4. A Son that never did amiss,
 that never shamed his Mother's kiss,
 nor crossed her fondest prayer:
 e'en from the Tree he deigned to bow
 for her his agonized brow,
 her, his sole earthly care.
 |  
      | 2. Ave Maria! Mother blest,
 to whom, caressing and caressed,
 clings the eternal Child;
 favored beyond Archangels' dream,
 when first on thee with tendered gleam
 thy new-born Savior smiled
 | 5. Ave Maria! thou whose name
 all but adoring love may claim,
 yet may we reach thy shrine;
 for he, thy Son and Savior, vows
 to crown all lowly lofty brows
 with love and joy like thine.
 |  
      | 3. Thou wept'st meek Maiden, Mother mild,
 thou wept'st upon thy sinless Child,
 thy very heart was riven:
 and yet, what mourning matron here
 would deem thy sorrows bought too dear
 by all on this side heaven!
