The Lourdes Hymn

Protect us, while telling,

Thy praises we sing,

In faithful hearts dwelling,

Christ Jesus, our King,

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria,

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.

Thou cam’st to redeem us,

A pure Maiden’s child,

Pure bodies beseem us,

And hearts undefiled,

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria,

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.

And thou, ever glorious

‘Midst children of Eve,

God’s Mother victorious,

Our praises receive,

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria,

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.

Though thee, who all graces,

Canst win from thy Son,

For these our poor praises

Acceptance be won,

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria,

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.

And while we revere Her,

Chaste Mother and Maid,

Emmanuel, hear Her,

And lend us thine aid,

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria,

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
