We greet you with your joyful reader, Mary. ; We greet you with the fruit of your blessed womb, Jesus. ; Whom you received in your virgin womb and yet remained a virgin. ; Hail Mary, hail Mary. ; ; 2. On the visit of your dear relative, Elizabeth, ; You hastened to comfort her with your precious body. ; She also greeted you in this way, blessed are you among women, ; Hail Mary, hail Mary. ; ; 3. You gave birth to your divine child in a ragged stable, ; No lodging was given to you in all Bethlehem by your shepherds. ; But the angels praised you, the shepherds honored you, ; Hail Mary, hail Mary. ; ; 4. Taking your holy son in your arms on the day of your purification, ; Presenting him in the temple of Jerusalem. ; You offered Him to God, You presented Him to Simeon. ; Hail Mary, Hail Mary. ; ; 5. On the third day, among the doctors, ; You found Your holy Son in the temple, there He was asking questions. ; We too, if we lose Him, like You, O holy Virgin, will seek Him. ; Hail Mary, Hail Mary.
