Ave Maria
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
[Mary! We greet Thee!]1
Grace flows all about Thee,
Thou, the adornment of all womankind!
The Lord is with Thee;
Thou art blessed,
Oh Virgin! at all times;
Jesus be praised,
The fruit of Thy womb;
Oh plead for us now,
And in the end also in death. 2
