Ave Maria

Ave Maria, Ave Maria Ave Maria, Ave Maria Ave, Maria, Ave, Maria those who suffer call out to you your arms embrace them all for you have suffered, too like any other the Holy Mother. Ave, Maria, Ave, Maria They are children, lost in their fears You, who once lost a child You wash them with your tears You purify them You beautify them. Ave, Maria, Ave, Maria All who doubt you, stray in the night Maria So take them by the hand and lead them to the light. Ave Maria, Ave Maria Ave Maria, Ave Maria Ave Maria, Ave Maria Ave Maria, Ave Maria Amen. --- Ave Maria - Connie Francis
