[Verse 1]
Mary, Queen of mercy, be always at our side.
Pray for us and be our guide.
For it is you, O blessed Mother
who was to be the chosen one.
O bring us gloser to God's only Son.
Ave! Ave Maria!
Intercede for us in Heav'n above
and help us all to know the Father's love.
O Mary, pray that our contentions cease
and this troubled world will one day know God's peace.
Ave Maria!

[Verse 2]
Ave Maria!
Gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena.
Ave, Ave! Dominus Dominus tecum,
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus, et benedictus
fructus ventris, ventris tui, Jesus.
Ave Maria.

[Verse 3]
Ave Maria!
Gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena.
Ave, Ave! Dominus Dominus tecum,
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus, et benedictus
fructus ventris, ventris tui, Jesus.
Ave Maria.
