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, O holy
Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Salve Regina, Mater
misericordiae; vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus,
exsules, filii Evae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes, in hac
larimarum valle. Eia ergo advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes
oculos, ad nos converte. Et Iesum, 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.
