This is a new Marian hymn that is sincere and singable and written by Brigid McNally. I often say here that I have trouble with songs about Mary due to my Protestant upbringing, but this is good.
The sheet music, MP3 and backing are available at Willow.
Which didn’t stop me making a backing as well:
Chorus
Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed among all women are you and blessed 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.
1 Wise and strong, compassionate and kind, tender and graceful.
You’re a shining star in the darkest night.
Chorus
2 Humble and sure, glorious and brave, loyal and loving.
Queen of Heaven, Queen of all our hearts.
