Hail, Holy Queen

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 towards 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, Oh holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
