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, O 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!
