Come, my lips, and wide proclaim
The blessed Virgin's spotless fame.
R. From the hands of the enemy mightily defend me.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.—Amen.
Alleluia.
Alleluia.
Hymn
Hail, Queen of the heaven,
Hail, mistress of earth!
Hail, Virgin most pure,
Of immaculate birth!
Clear star of the morning,
Clear star of the morning,
In beauty enshrin'd,
O Lady, make speed
To the help of mankind.
Thee God in the depth
Thee God in the depth
Of eternity chose;
And form'd thee all fair
As His glorious spouse;
And call'd thee His Word's
And call'd thee His Word's
Own Mother to be,
By whom He created
The earth, sky, and sea.—Amen.
V. God elected her, and pre-elected her.
R. He made her to dwell in His tabernacle.
V. O Lady, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let Us Pray.
O Holy Mary, Queen of heaven, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Mistress of the world, who forsakest no one, and despises no one; look upon me, O Lady, with an eye of pity, and entreat for me, of thy beloved Son, the forgiveness of all my sins; that, as I now celebrate with devout affection Thy Holy and Immaculate Conception, so hereafter, I may receive the prize of eternal blessedness, by the grace of Him whom thou, in virginity, didst bring forth, Jesus Christ our Lord; who, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth, in perfect unity, God, world without end. Amen.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
V. Let us bless the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
V. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
