Hail, happy Queen, thou mercy's parent, hail !

And let our vows those eyes of pity move.

Long exiled, may in heaven thy Jesus see.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

O Almighty and eternal God, who, by the cooperation of the Holy Ghost, didst prepare the body and soul of the glorious Virgin Mary, that she might become a habitation worthy of thy Son; grant that, as with joy we celebrate her memory, so by her pious intercession we may be delivered from present evils and eternal death: Through the same Christ our Lord.
