Lyrics: Hail, Queen of Heaven,
Hail, mistress of angels,
Hail sacred stem,
From which the world's light has come, Rejoice glorious one, Beautiful above all others: Hail, farewell, gracious one, And always pray to Christ for us. Latin: Ave Regina cælorum, Ave Domina Angelorum: Salve radix sancta, Ex qua mundo lux est orta. Gaude gloriosa, Super omnes speciosa: vale, o valde decora, Et pro nobis Christum exora.
