Hail, holy Queen, enthron'd above,

Hail! Mother of Mercy and of love!
O Maria! -
Our life, our sweetness here below,
O Maria!
Our hope in sorrow and in woe,
O Maria!

Triumph, all ye
Cherubim,
Sing with us, ye Seraphim,
Heav'n and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!

To thee we cry, poor sons of Eve,
O Maria!
To thee we sigh, we mourn, we grieve,
O Maria!
Refrain
-
This earth is but a vale of tears,
O Maria!
A place of banishment, of fears,
O Maria!

Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
O Maria!
Tow'rds us thine eyes compassionate,
O Maria!

When this our exile is complete,
O Maria!
Show us thy Son, our Jesus sweet,
O Maria!

O clement, gracious, Mother sweet,
O Maria!
O Virgin Mary, we entreat,
O Maria!
