Text
SAlue Regina mater misericordie.
UIta dulcedo et spes nostra salue.
AD te clamamus exules filii eue.
AD te suspiramus gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
EIa ergo aduocata nostra
illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos conuerte.
ET Jesum benedictum fructum ventris tui
nobis post hoc exilium ostende.
O Clemens O pia,
O dulcis virgo Maria.
Translation
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 up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
