Laudis Corona ‎#206b

206b. Fading, still fading

1 Fading, still fading, the last beam is shining;
Ave Maria! day is declining;
Safety and innocence fly with the light,
Temptation and danger walk forth in the night;
From the fall of the shade till the matin shall chime,
Shield us from danger, and save us from crime.

Chorus:
Ave Maria, Ave Maria,
Ave Maria, audinos!

2 Ave Maria, oh! hear when we call!
Mother of Him who is Saviour of all;
Feeble and fainting, we trust in thy might,
In doubting and darkness, thy love be our light;
Let us sleep on thy breast while the night taper burns,
And wake in thy arms when the morning returns. [Chorus]
