Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae;
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Hevae;
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrymarum valle.
Eia ergo, Advocata nostra,
Illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte:
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
Nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
Virgo Mater ecclesiae,
Virgo dulcis O Maria,
Esto nobis refugium
Apud Patrem et Filium
O clemens! O Pia! O dulcis Maria.
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy;
hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
To thee do we send our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy towards us;
And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Virgin Mother of the Church,
Sweet Virgin, O Maria
Be our refuge with the Father and the Son,
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Adhemar de Monteil and St. Bernard
O Salutaris Hostia
O salutaris hostia,
Quae coeli pandis ostium:
Bella premunt hostilia.
Da robur, fer auxilium.
Uni trinoque Domino
Dit sempiterna gloria
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria.
O saving sacrifice
Who opens wide the gates of heaven
Our foes press on to war,
Give us strength when we ask for help.
One God in Three,
In everlasting glory,
Who lives forever,
Grant us our true home.
