HAIL, HOLY QUEEN

 

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,

Hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope;

Do 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, 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.

Let us pray.

O God, Whose only begotten Son, by His Life, 

Death and Resurrection has purchased for us the rewards

of eternal salvation; Grant, we beseech Thee, that while meditating

upon the mysteries of the most holy  rosary of the Blessed Virgin

Mary, that we may both imitate what they contain, and obtain what 

they promise, through Christ our Lord. 

Amen.
