ave regína cælorum (hail, o queen of heaven)

Hail, O Queen of Heaven enthroned! Hail, by angels mistress owned, Root of Jesse! Gate of morn! Whence the world’s true light was born:

Glorious Virgin, joy to thee, Loveliest whom in heaven they see. Fairest thou where all are fair! Plead with Christ our sins to spare.

Ave, Regína cælórum, ave, Dómina angelórum, salve, radix, salve, porta, ex qua mundo lux est orta.

Gaude, Virgo gloriósa, super omnes speciósa;

vale, o valde decóra

et pro nobis Christum exóra.
