Ave Maria Of Fatima

Ave Maria, Ave Maria! The heavens were opened,
Our Lady appeared at Fatima one day,
To tell us again of the great need for prayer.
As her children we answer this way:

1. Dear Lady of Fatima, we come on bended knee
To beg your intercession for peace and unity.
Dear Mary, won't you show us the right and shining way?
We pledge our love and offer you a rosary each day.

2. You promised at Fatima each time that you appeared
To help us if we pray to you to banish was and fear.
Dear Lady, on first Saturdays, we ask your guiding hand
For grace and guidance her on earth
And protection for our land.

Ave Maria, O Maiden, O Mother

1. Ave Maria, O Maiden, O Mother,
fondly thy children are calling on thee;
thine are the graces unclaimed by another,
sinless and beautiful Star of the sea.

Mater amabilis, ora pro nobis,
pray for thy children who call upon thee;
Ave Sanctissima, Ave Purissima,
sinless and beautiful Star of the sea.

2. Ave Maria, the night shades are falling,
softly, our voices arise unto thee;
earth’s lonely exiles for succour are calling,
sinless and beautiful Star of the sea.

Mater amabilis…

3. Ave Maria, thy children are kneeling,
words of endearment are murmured to thee;
softly thy spirit upon us is stealing,
sinless and beautiful Star of the sea.

Mater amabilis…

4. Ave Maria, thou portal of heaven,
Harbor of refuge, to thee do we flee:
Lost in the darkness, by stormly winds driven,
Shine on our pathway, fair Star of the Sea!

Mater amabilis…

Slovac Hymnal
