HAIL HOLY QUEEN
[SALVE REGINA]
Hail, Holy Queen
Mother of Mercy
Hail 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 vale of tears.
Turn then, O 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 o most holy Mother of God
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ, thy Son.
Let us pray;
Almighty, everlasting God, Who by the co-operation
of the Holy Spirit didst prepare the body and soul
of the glorious Virgin Mother Mary
to become a dwelling place for thy Son;
grant that as we rejoice in her commemoration,
so by her fervent intercession we may be
delivered from present evils and everlasting death.
Through the same Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
