Hail, nobly born, hail, honored and inviolate,
you Maiden are the piercing gaze of chastity,
you the material of holiness--the one who pleasèd God.
For heaven's flood poured into you
as heaven's Word was clothed in flesh in you.
You are the lily, gleaming white, upon which
God has fixed his gaze before all created.
Your womb rejoiced as from you sounded forth the whole celestial symphony.
For as a virgin you have borne the Son of God.
So now in joy gleams all the Church like dawn,
resounds in symphony because of you, the Virgin sweet
and worthy of all praise, Maria, God's mother. Amen.
