Hail, Holy Virgin.

1. Hail, holy Virgin, ; Full of grace. ; Thus the angel greeted ; The beautiful virgin Mary, ; The chosen mother of Christ. ; ; 2. And he continued: ; The Lord is with you, ; Behold, you will conceive a son, ; In whom you will rejoice, ; Heaven and earth will rejoice. ; ; 3. O angel, thus says he, ; How can this be, ; For I am a virgin, ; I have known no husband. ; Heaven is my witness in this. ; ; 4. The power of the Holy Spirit ; Will come upon you, ; For as the dew, ; In the morning falls upon the earth, ; So shall her birth be. ; ; 5. Believing the word of the angel ; The holy Virgin, ; Humbles herself, ; She declares herself a servant, ; Let it be as your lips say! ; ; 6. Flower of virgins, ; Beautiful Virgin Mary! ; Rejoice and be glad, ; For to great motherhood, ; You have chosen me for dignity. ; ; 7. Atone for us ; With your supplication, ; Your holy Son, ; So that his incarnation ; May be the salvation of our souls.
