Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with you
Blessed are you among all women
And blest is the fruit of your womb
Our Lord, Our Lord, our Lord Jesus
Maria, Vessel of divinity, Maria
Mother star of the sea, Maria,
Tower of Iv’ry, Maria
Maria, Maria come to me!

Hail, Holy Queen enthroned above
Our life, our sweetness and our hope
To thee do we come, before thee we stand
Sinful and sorrowful
O mother of the Word, despise not our petition
But in your mercy, answer me!
Maria, Queen of Holy majesty
Maria, Lover of the Trinity
Maria, Mirror of His glory
Maria, Maria come to me!

Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary,
That never was it known that anyone who fled
To your protection, implored your help
Or sought your intercession was left without aid
Inspired by this confidence we fly to thee we fly!
Maria, Mother of mercy
Maria, Queen of all humanity
Maria, Help of all who cry to thee
Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, come to me!
