Hymn 3

Verse 1

As I kneel before you,

as I bow my head in prayer,

take this day, make it yours 

and fill me with your love.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,

Dominus tecum, benedicta tu.

Verse 2

All I have I give you,

ev'ry dream and wish are yours,

Mother of Christ, Mother of mine

present them to my Lord.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,

Dominus tecum, benedicta tu.

Verse 3

As I kneel before you, 

and I see your smiling face,

ev'ry thought, ev'ry word

Is lost in your embrace.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,

Dominus tecum, benedicta tu.
