Hail Holy Queen

H ail, 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 vale, of tears;
turn, then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of
mercy toward 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 holy Mother of God, that we may be
made worthy of the promises of Christ.
