ANTHEM
Hail, O Queen of heav'n enthroned!
Hail, by angels Mistress owned!
Root of Jesse! Gate of morn,
Whence the world's true Light was born:
Glorious Virgin, joy to thee,
Beautiful surpassingly!
Fairest thou where all are fair!
Plead for us a pitying prayer.
V. Vouchsafe that I may praise thee, O Blessed Virgin.
