Salve Regina
============
w&m: Stephen DeCesare, 1992

[Verse 1]
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to thee we do send up our sighs.
Mourning and weeping
in this valley of tears.

[Refrain]
Oh, Salve Regina! Sancta Maria!
Oh, Queen of the Rosary, pray for us.

[Verse 2]
Oh, turn then most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile show unto us
the blessed fruit of thy womb.
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary.

[Refrain]

[Coda]
Oh, pray for us!
