Immaculate Mary (the old words)

Anonymous, 19th century (often credited to Jeremiah Cummings, 1814–1866)

Immaculate Mary, our hearts are on fire,

That title so wondrous fills all our desire.

Ave, ave, ave, Maria!

We pray for God's glory, may his kingdom come!

We pray for his Vicar, our Father, and Rome.

We pray for our Mother, the Church upon earth,

And bless, sweetest Lady, the land of our birth.
