Hail, by angels Mistress owned!
Root of Jesse! Gate of morn,
Whence the world's true Light was born:
Glorious Virgin, joy to thee,
Beautiful surpassingly!
Fairest thou where all are fair!
Plead for us a pitying prayer.
V. Vouchsafe that I may praise thee, O Blessed Virgin.
R. Grant me strength against thine enemies.
Let us pray
O MOST merciful God, grant succor unto our frailty; that as we celebrate the memory of the holy Mother of God, so by the help of her intercession we may rise again from our sins. Through the same Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
V. May the divine assistance remain always with us.
R. Amen.
From Compline of Holy Saturday until None
