Hail Mary: Gentle Woman
=======================
w: Trad. "Hail Mary" prayer; add'l lyrics by Carey Landry
m: Carey Landry, 1975

[Verse 1]
Hail Mary full of grace,
the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women
and blest is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death.
Amen.

[Refrain]
Gentle woman, quiet light,
morning star, so strong and bright,
gentle Mother, peaceful dove,
teach us wisdom; teach us love.

[Verse 2]
Blessed are you among women,
blest in turn all women, too.
Blessed they with peaceful spirits.
Blessed they with gentle hearts.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
You were chosen by the Father;
You were chosen for the Son.
You were chosen from all women
and for woman shining one.

[Refrain]
