Immaculate Mary or Immaculate Mother is a Roman Catholic Marian prayer. It is also known as the Lourdes Hymn, sung in honour of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.〔''Maiden and Mother: Prayers, Hymns, Devotions, and Songs to the Beloved Virgin Mary Throughout the Year'' by Margaret M. Miles 2001 ISBN 0860123057 page 60〕 It was written by Abbe Gaignet to a traditional French tune and is used principally at the shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes. ==Words== :Immaculate Mary, thy praises we sing, :Thou reignst now in Heaven with Jesus our King. :Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! :In Heaven the Blessed thy glory proclaim, :On earth we thy children invoke thy fair name. :Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! :We pray for our mother, the Church upon earth :And bless, dearest Lady, the land of our birth. :Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave Maria! There are a number of alternative renderings of the hymn, in use in different parts of the world. A popular version which appeared in hymnals between 1900 and 1975 has, as its first line, "Immaculate Mary, our hearts are on fire." It extends to around 12 verses in order to facilitate its use in processions.〔("Immaculate Mary our hearts are on fire" Hymnary.Org 1 Nov. 2015 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Immaculate Mary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
