AIL, O  Queen  of  heaven enthroned!

Hail, by  angels  mistress  owned!

Root of  Jesse,  Gate  of  morn,

Whence the  world's  true  light was born.

Glorious Virgin,  joy  to  thee, Loveliest whom  in  heaven  they see.

Fairest thou  where  all  are  fair!

Plead with  Christ  our  sins  to spare.

V. Vouchsafe  that  I  may praise thee,  O  sacred  Virgin.

R. Give  me  strength  against thine enemies.

RANT, O  merciful  God, support to  our  frailty; that we  who  commemorate the holy  Mother  of  God,  may, by the  help  of  her  intercession, arise from  our  iniquities. Through the  same  Christ  our Lord.

R. Amen.

V. May the  divine  assistance remain  always  with  us.

R. Amen.

UEEN of  heaven  rejoice; Alleluia.
