Madonna and Child, Duccio di Buoninsegna, 1290–1300

(at The Met)

As I kneel before you (Ave Maria)
lyrics by Maria Parkinson

As I kneel before you
as I bow my head in prayer,
take this day, make it yours
and fill me with your ove.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum, benedicta tu.

All I have I give you.
ev'ry dream and wish are yours;
mother of Christ, mother of mine,
present them to my Lord.

As I kneel before you
and I see your smiling face,
ev'ry thought, ev'ry word
is lost in your embrace.
