Hail Mary pearl of grace,
Pure flow'r of Adams race,
And vessel rare of God's election
Unstained as virgin snow,
Serene as sunset glow,
We sinners crave thy sure protection.

Thou Queen of high estate,
Conceived immaculate
To form Incarnate Love's pure dwelling
The Spirit found his rest
Within thy sinless breast,
And thence flow joys beyond all telling.

A fairer, purer Eve
Didst thou her fall retrieve,
Tor man's debt giving God in payment
Thy spotless feet are pressed
Upon the serpent crest
God's stars thy crown, his sun thy raiment

Through his dear blood who died,
By sinners Crucified,
Art thou preserved, and we forgiven;
Help us to conquer sin
That we may enter in
Through thee, the GoIden Gate of heavèn.
