The Village Of St. Bernadette 1959

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 11 May 2003

I've travelled far
the land and the sea,
Beautiful places I happened to be;
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes,
The Village of Saint Bernadette.

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.

Down to the Grotto
I followed in song,
Pilgrims, all weary
from journeys so long.
Rich and the poor,
the strong and the lame,
Thousands all praising
the sweet Lady's name.

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.

There like a dream
this wonderful night,
I gazed at the Grotto
aglow in the light;
A feeling divine,
swept over me there,
I fell to my knees
as I whisper'd a pray'r.

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.

Now I am home,
I'm happy to be
Telling of pleasures
I've travelled to see,
One little town
I'll never forget
Is Lourdes,
The Village of Saint Bernadette.

Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
