Chloe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
Et benedictus, fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, sancta Maria, Maria,
Ora pro nobis, nobis peccatoribus,
Nunc et in hora, in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen. Amen.
Chloe Agnew's song "Ave Maria" is a beautiful interpretation of the classic hymn. In these lyrics, she is calling upon the mother of Jesus, Mary, as she beseeches her to intercede on behalf of human sinners. The first few lines of the hymn are in Latin, and they translate to "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." This is the traditional opening of the Hail Mary prayer in Catholicism. Here, Agnew is acknowledging Mary's special status as the mother of Jesus, treating her with great reverence and respect, and asking for her help in bringing grace and mercy to humanity.
As the song progresses, we hear Agnew repeating the praises of Mary. She refers to her as "sancta," meaning holy or saintly, and asks her to pray for all sinners - "nobis peccatoribus." She also acknowledges her own mortality, asking Mary to be with her "in hora mortis nostrae" or "at the hour of our death." Finally, the hymn ends with "Amen," which simply means "so be it" (or "let it be done"). Overall, "Ave Maria" is a powerful and moving song, offering comfort to those who are struggling and seeking solace in the love of God.

Chloe, sing The Ave Maria so very Beautifully, I don't think I have ever heard anyone sing this song the way Chloe does.
@wendymcfee7739
Chloë never fails to make me cry. She truly is the best singer in all of the world!
@johnfurgenson2809
8 years later and I still agree with you

I saw her sing this live years ago and she was phenomenal. She got like a 3 minute standing ovation.
@johncombs2990
I saw Chloe perform in Ashland, KY on 3/18/17. She sang this one and truth be told I could not tell any real difference between the two (except for the lack of back ground vocalist). Even after all this time (and her slimming down) our angel still has it.
@johncombs2990
Do we need any more proof that Chloe has been sent from heaven to brighten the world with her beauty and her voice.
