Refrain:
Hail, Mother of mercy, Mother of God,
and Mother of pardon, Mother of hope, and Mother
of grace, Mother full of holy joy,
O Mary!
Verses:
1. Hail, honor of mankind; hail,
Virgin worthier than others,
who surpass all virgins and in heaven occupy the
highest seat
of honor, O Mary! (Refrain)
2. Hail, happy child-bearing Mother, for He Who sits at
the
right hand of the Father, ruling heaven, earth, and sky, didst
enclose
Himself within Thy womb, O Mary! (Refrain)
3. O Mother, be our solace; thou
Virgin, be our joy; at last, after
this exile, join us, rejoicing, to the heavenly choirs,
O Mary!
(Refrain)
In honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary
