1 Hail, holy Queen enthroned above,
O María.
Hail, Queen of mercy and of love,
O María.
Triumph, all ye Cherubim;
Sing with us, ye Seraphim.
Heav'n and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, Salve,
Salve Regína.

2 The cause of joy to all below,
O María.
The spring through which all graces flow,
O María.
Angels, all your praises bring;
Earth and heaven, with us sing;
All creation echoing:
Salve, Salve,
Salve Regína.

3 O gentle, loving, holy one,
O María.
The God of light became your Son,
O María.
Triumph, all ye Cherubim;
Sing with us, ye Seraphim.
Heav'n and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, Salve,
Salve Regína.
