Hail Mary, Gentle Woman

I have a special affinity for this song, since it was sung at the memorial service for my mother - sung by a good friend with a beautiful voice. I chose this song because it reminded me of my mother's heart.

There were several videos of this song, but this one is special to me because it shows a collection of Nativity art. I have always wanted to collect Nativities, and someday maybe I'll do it (when I have more room to store them).

Anyway, enjoy this beautiful song in honor of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and honoring all women as well.




Hail Mary: Gentle Woman - lyrics

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 our death. Amen.

Gentle woman, quiet light,
Morning star, so strong and bright,
Gentle Mother, peaceful dove,
Teach us wisdom, teach us love.

You were chosen by the Father,
You were chosen for the Son.
You were chosen from all women,
And for woman, shining one.

Gentle woman, quiet light,
Morning star, so strong and bright,
Gentle Mother, peaceful dove,
Teach us wisdom, teach us love.

Blessed are you among women,
Blest in turn all women, too.
Blessed they with peaceful spirits,
Blessed they with gentle hearts.

Gentle woman, quiet light,
Morning star, so strong and bright,
Gentle Mother, peaceful dove,
Teach us wisdom, teach us love.
