Hail, Queen of the heavens - Lyrics

Hail, Queen of the heavens,

Hail, Mistress of earth;

Hail, Virgin most pure

Of immaculate birth.

Clear star of the morning

In beauty enshrined;

Oh! lend us thine aid,

We beseech thee, incline.

Chorus:

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,

Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,

Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.

Our voices ascending,

In harmony blend;

Oh! thus may our hearts,

Dear Mother, ascend.

Thine honor our love,

Our devotion be;

For thee our hearts

And our voices are free.

Chorus:

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,

Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,

Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.

As infants, our voices,

Thy likeness did greet;

Blessed Mother, obtain,

For us, now, thy sweet.

Chorus:

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,

Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,

Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.
