Latin
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness,
and our hope, hail.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
your merciful eyes toward us,
and after this our exile, show unto us Jesus,
the blessed fruit of your womb.
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary.

Hail, O Queen, Mother of mercy;
our life, our delight,
and our hope, hail.
To you we cry, banished children of Eve;
to you we sigh, mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears.
Therefore, our advocate,
turn your merciful eyes toward us
and after this misery show us Jesus,
the blessed fruit of your womb!
O kind, O gentle,
O sweet Virgin Mary.
