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,
	most holy Mother of God,
	that we made be made worthy of the promises of (thy Son, Our Lord, Jesus) Christ.
	Amen.

Salva Regina, Mater misericordiae; Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria. Ora pro nobis sancta Dei Genitrix. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.
