Hymn: Hail, Queen of the heavens! Hail, mistress of earth!
Hail, Virgin most pure, of immaculate birth!
Clear star of the morning, in beauty enshrined!
O Lady, make speed to the help of mankind.
You, God in the depth of eternity chose,
And formed you all fair as his glorious Spouse,
And called you his Word’s own mother to be,
By whom he created the earth, sky, and sea.
V. God elected her, and pre-elected her,
R. He made her to dwell in his tabernacle.
V. O Lady, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto you.
Prayer: Holy Mary, Queen of Heaven, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Mistress of the world, who forsakes no one and despises no one. Look on me, O Lady, with an eye of pity and entreat for me of your beloved Son the forgiveness of all my sins. As I now celebrate with devout affection your holy and Immaculate Conception, so, hereafter, I may receive the prize of eternal blessedness by the grace of him whom you, in virginity, did bring forth, Jesus Christ, Our Lord; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit, live and reign in perfect Trinity, God, world without end. Amen.
V. O Lady, hear my prayer,
R. And let my cry come unto you.
V. Let us bless the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
V. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
R. Amen.
V. O Lady, make speed to befriend me.
R. From the hand of the enemy mightily defend me.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
R. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Hymn: Hail Virgin most wise! Hail Deity’s shrine!
With seven fair pillars, and Table divine,
Preserved from the guilt which has come on us all,
Exempt in the womb, from the taint of the Fall.
O new star of Jacob! Of Angels the Queen!
O gate of the Saints! O mother of men!
O terrible as the embattled array!
Be you of the faithful the refuge and stay. Amen.
V. The Lord himself created her in the Holy Spirit.
R. And poured her out among all his works.
Repeat— verses and prayer: O Lady, hear my prayer, and the prayer, which finishes with the Glory...
