Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A maiden most gentle and tender we sing
Of Mary the mother of Jesus our King
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
[Verse 2]
How blessed is the birth of her heavenly child
Who came to redeem us in Mary so mild
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
[Verse 3]
The archangel Gabriel foretold by his call
The Lord of creation and Saviour of all
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
[Verse 4]
Three kings came to worship with gifts rich and rare
And marveled in awe at the babe in her care
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
[Verse 5]
Rejoice and be glad at this Christmas we pray
Sing praise to the Saviour sing endless 'Ave'
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
