IMMACULATE MARY

1. Immaculate Mary!
   Our hearts are on fire;
   That title so wondrous,
   Fills all our desire.

Chorus:
       Ave, ave, ave, Maria;
       Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

2. We pray for God’s glory,
   May His Kingdom come;
   We pray for His Vicar,
   Our Father and Rome.
3. We pray for our Mother,
   The Church upon earth,
   And bless, sweetest Lady,
   The Land of our birth.
4. We pray for all sinners,
   And souls that now stray.
   From Jesus and Mary,
   In heresy’s way.
5. In grief and temptation,
   In joy, or in pain,
   We’ll seek thee, our Mother,
   Nor seek thee in vain.
6. O bless us, dear Lady,
   With blessings from heaven,
   And to our petitions,
   Let answer be given.
7. Now to God be all glory,
   And worship for ave,
   And to God’s Virgin Mother,
   And endless Ave.
8. Our homes and our country,
   We place in thy keeping.
   To love and to serve Thee,
   In gladness and weeping.
9. We pray for the Church,
   In the hour of her mourning.
   We pray for all sinners,
   Still deaf to Thy warning.
10. We pray for the Vicar
    Of Christ on whom presses,
    The weight of the world,
    And its cruel distresses.
11. O Queen of the Rosary,
    Be thou our salvation,
    Our refuge in life,
    And our true consolation.
