The Nun's Chorus - 1949 - Casanova

James Pitt-Payne, London, and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 18 Mar 2002

Holy Mary, day by day,
Watch beside us,
Guard and guide us
Lest we stray on life's highway.
On our knees to thee humbly we pray.
Hear my plea!
Pity me!
Blessed Mary, send and save me.
Holy maid, lend your aid
Ere the convent vows enslave me.
Fairest flowers I'll bring you,
Sweetest songs I'll sing you,
Prayer and praise shall not cease
If you grant release.
Hear my plea!
Pity me!
Blessed Mary, send and save me.
Holy maid, lend your aid
Ere the convent vows enslave me.
Fairest flowers I'll bring you,
Sweetest songs I'll sing you,
Prayer and praise shall not cease
If you grant release.
