Ave, o Theotokos
Congregação Mariana
Hail, O Mother of God
Your appearance, Lady
All dressed in light
Is a revelation to the world
Of your Son Jesus!
Hail, O Mother of God! Hail, O Mother of God!
Hail, Hail Mary! Hail, Hail, Mary!
You appeared, Lady
Star of the new day
You are Christ's messenger
Of His love's prophecy!
Your Son Jesus Christ
Word of God incarnate
Comes to create a new world
Without the stains of sin
In the times we live today
Of wars and violence
You ask us, O Lady
For prayer and penance
Through the mouths of children
God speaks His truth
To peace, love, and justice
Inviting all humanity
In the solitude of the mountain
We are closer to God
To remind among men
Of His commandments
O Lady who appeared
To three humble shepherds
Make us a holy Church
We who are sinners
Glorious Mother of the Church
Who comes down from heaven to earth
Sow the peace of Christ
Where men make war
