Immaculate Mary, our hearts are on fire
Feasts of the B. V. Mary
"I am the Immaculate Conception."
1. πImmaculate Mary!
Our hearts are on fire;
That title so wondrous
Fills all our desire!
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave Maria!
2. ππWe pray for God's glory,
May His kingdom come;
We pray for His Vicar,
Our Father in Rome.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave Maria!
3. ππWe pray for our Mother,
The Church upon earth,
And bless, sweetest Lady,
The land of our birth.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave Maria!
4. ππWe pray for all sinners,
And souls that now stray
From Jesus and Mary
In heresy's way.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave Maria!
5. πFor poor, sick, afflicted,
Thy mercy we crave;
And comfort the dying,
Thou light of the grave!
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave Maria!
6. ππThere is no need, Mary,
Nor ever hath been,
Which thou canst not succor
Immaculate Queen.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave Maria!
7. ππIn grief and temptation,
In joy, or in pain,
We'll seek thee, our Mother,
πNor seek thee in vain.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave Maria!
8. ππO bless us, dear Lady,
With blessings from heaven,
And to our petitions
Let answer be given.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave Maria!
9. ππIn death's solemn moment,
Our Mother, be nigh;
As children of Mary
O teach us to die!
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave Maria!
10. ππAnd crown thy sweet mercy
With this special grace,
To behold soon in heaven
πGod's ravishing Face.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave Maria!
11. πNow to God be all glory
And worship for aye,
And to God's Virgin Mother,
An endless Ave.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Ave, Ave Maria!
