SALVE
REGINA
Hail, Queen most noble,
Hail Thou Mother most merciful,
Thou life's true sweetness,
Thou our hope, we greet Thee.
To Thee we're crying,
from paradise banished children.
To Thee we come weeping,
sorrowing and sighing in this dark and tearful valley.
Ah, turn Thine eyes, Advocate, in mercy,
Turn in loving and kind compassion
These Thine eyes upon us sinners.
And Jesus, the blessed fruit of Thy virginal womb,
Show unto us when our exile is ended.
Thou'rt clement, Thou'rt loving,
Thou art sweet, O Virgin Mary.
