Hail, holy Queen enthroned above

Hail, holy Queen enthroned above,
O Maria.
Hail, Queen of mercy and of love,
O Maria.
Triumph, all ye cherubim,
sing with us, ye seraphim,
heaven and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!

The cause of joy to men below,
O Maria.
The spring through which all graces flow,
O Maria.
Angels, all your praises bring,
earth and heaven, with us sing,
all creation echoing:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!
