SALVE REGINA.
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished sons of Eve;
To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us,
And after this our exile, show to us the blessed Fruit of thy womb, Jesus,
O most clement, most pious, most sweet Virgin Mary.
