Immaculate Mary

1.
Immaculate Mary,
Your praises we sing.
You reign now in heaven
With Jesus our King.

AVE, AVE,
AVE MARIA!
AVE, AVE, MARIA!

2,
In haven the blessed
Your glory proclaim;
On earth we your children
Invoke your fair name.

3.
We pray for our Mother,
The Church upon earth,
And bless, Holy Mary,
The Land of our Birth.

Now Thank We All Our God

Now Thank We All Our God

1.
Now thank we all our God,
With heart, and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hat done,
In whom his world rejoices.
Who from our mother's arms
Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

2.
O may this gracious God
Through all our life be near us!
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
Preserve us in his grace
And guide us in distress,
And free us from all sin,
Till heaven we possess.

3.
All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son and Spirit blest,
Who reigns in highest heaven
Eternal Triune God,
Whom earth and heavn'n adore.
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
