Hail Mary, full of grace

Language: English after the Latin

Hail Mary, full of grace
God is with you, serene Virgin.
Hail, she whose conception
Filled with heavenly celebration
Fills everything 
in heaven and on earth
With new joy.
Hail, she whose birth
Was our celebration
As Lucifer, light of the east,
Went ahead of the true sun.
Hail her pious humility
Her fruitfulness without a man,
She whose annunciation
Was our salvation.
Hail her true virginity
Her unspotted chastity
Whose purification
Was our cleansing.
Hail her, outstanding in all
Angelic virtues,
Whose assumption was
Our glorification.
O Mother of God
Remember me.  Amen.
