205. Hail, Holy Queen

1 Hail, holy Queen enthroned above; O Maria!
Hail, mother of mercy and of love, O Maria!

Refrain:
Triumph, all ye cherubim;
Sing with us, ye seraphim!
Heav'n and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve, Regina!

2 Our life, our sweetness here below, O Maria!
Our hope in sorrow and in woe, O Maria! [Refrain]

3 And when our life-breath leaves us, O Maria!
Show us thy Son, Christ Jesus. O Maria! [Refrain]
