Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy.
hail our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To you we cry, poor banished children of Eve!
To you we send up our sighs;
mourning and weeping in this vale of tears!
Turn, most gracious Advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this, our exile,
show us the blessed fruit of Your womb, Jesus!
O Clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
