Original text and translations

Latin text (or link to a text page) needs to be added.

English translation Hail, Mary, only daughter of the blessed mother Anne. Hail, Mary, who didst bring forth a child without the seed of man. Hail, Mary; thou didst nourish Jesus thy Son at thy sacred breast. Hail, Mary; thou didst wash him in thy lap. Hail, Mary; thou didst see three wise men bringing gifts. Hail, Mary; fleeing, thou didst set out for Egypt through the angel’s warning. Hail, Mary; thou didst seek thy child with great sorrow. Hail, Mary; thou didst find him in the temple expounding the Gospels Through these thy merits preserve thy servants And lead them to the heavens with celestial glory, All of them singing this ‘Hail, Mary.’ Amen. Translation by Nick Sandon
