Gregorian Chant - "Salve Regina"

2 comments:

  1. Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae:
    Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
    Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae.
    Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
    in hac lacrimarum valle.
    Eia ergo, Advocata nostra,
    illos tuos misericordes oculos
    ad nos converte.
    Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
    nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende.
    O clemens: O pia: O dulcis
    Virgo Maria.

  2. Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
    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.

    V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God
    R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
