Ava Maria - John McCormack

Ave Maria,

Hear my cry

O guide my path,

Where no harm, no harm is nigh.

O turn thy heart

To earth and see

My lonely heart and comfort me!

Mother, see my tears,

See my tears are falling,

Thou has also sorrow known

Life ah it is so dreary,

My heart it is so weary,

Ah, leave me knot alone!

O Mother, hear me in the light,

Look down on me,

My comfort be,

And guide my steps aright!

O Mother, hear me, where thou art

And guard and guide my aching heart,

My aching heart.
