What Kind of Mother Was Mary?

Celine Dion - Ave Maria (English, Latin)
Ave Maria! Maiden mild
Oh listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou canst hear amid the wild
'Tis thou 'tis thou canst save amid despair
We slumber safely till the morrow
Though we've by man outcast reviled
Oh Maiden see a maiden's sorrow
Oh Mother hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria gratia plena
Maria gratia plena
Maria gratia plena
Ave ave dominus
Dominus tecum
The murky cavern's air so heavy
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled
Oh Maiden hear a maiden pleadin'
Oh Mother hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria
