Holy Virgin, by God's decree,
You were called eternally
That he could give his Son to our race,
Mary, we praise you, hail full of grace.
Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

By your faith and loving accord,
As the handmaid of the Lord,
You undertook God's plan to embrace.
Mary, we thank you, hail, full of grace.
Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

Joy to God you gave and expressed,
Of all women none more bless’d,
When in mankind your Son took his place
Mary, we love you, hail, full of grace
Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

Refuge for your children so weak,
Sure protection all can seek.
Problems of life you help us to face.
Mary, we trust you, hail, full of grace
Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

To our needy world of today
Love and beauty you portray,
Showing the path to Christ we must trace.
Mary, our mother, hail, full of grace.
Ave, ave, ave, Maria.
