"As I Kneel Before You", This beautiful hymn is a folk-style tribute to Mary. The verses are in English, while the chorus consists of the opening lines from the Latin version of the "Hail Mary" prayer.

Maria Parkinson is the talented songwriter behind the lyrics. The song was first published in Songs of the Spirit in 1978, and there are suggestions that it may have been published in 1975 as well, although this hasn't been confirmed.

In 1982, the song gained prominence when it was performed during Pope John Paul II's visit to Liverpool Cathedral. Since then, it has been widely embraced and sung during pilgrimages to sacred places like Lourdes.

This hymn is often chosen as the entrance song or played during communion. Its delightful melody and contemporary rendition of Ave Maria make it a beloved choice for Marian funerals.

Lyrics :

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

Refrain:
Ave Maria,
Gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
Benedicta tu.

All I have I give you,
Every 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.
