We greet you holy queen on this your feast,

Queen of the heavens and the universe,

From all eternity, found loveliest,

As chosen grail to give the Savior birth.



Vessel unstained - Ark of the Covenant!

And found at last, - that held divinity,

Him, that holds all that is in mighty a hand,

And rules in sempiternal sovereignty.



Oh holy grail, Queen of the Rosary,

Your help and your assistance will not fail

For those that contemplate the Mystery

With confidence in tears' and sorrows' vale.



Mirror of justice,- sinners last resort,

Sweet maiden queen, by God Almighty kissed,

Before all ages favored by the Lord,

We come to honor you on this your feast.



Oh Madre di Bontade graciously,

Obtain for sinners mercy and pardon,

And by your tender heart's benignity

Lead erring mankind to the Christ, your Son.



Sweet queen celestial, Ave! Ave! Hail!

Mystical Rose, - Tower of Ivory,

Oh vessel spotless bright and holy Grail,

Man’s bulwark strong, a perpetuity.



Sure refuge for offenders - clemency,

For clemency divine we sinners cry,

Our ship is listing towards calamity

Lode Star most sweet, please stand your children by.



Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary

The danger is not that the soul should doubt whether there is any bread,

but lest, by lie, it should persuade itself that it is not hungry.
