Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
Our life, our
sweetness, and our hope!
To thee do we
cry, poor banished
children of
Eve, to thee do we send
up our sighs,
mourning and weeping
in this valley, of tears.
Turn, then,
most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of
mercy toward us; and
after this
our exile show unto us the
blessed fruit
of thy womb Jesus;
O clement, O
loving, O sweet virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God
That we may be made worthy of the
promises of
Christ.
