Memento Rerum Conditor
You asked for more about singing the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary so I have decided to make a course on Udemy!

Hymn to Our Lady from the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Memento, rerum Conditor,
Nostri quod olim corporis,
Sacrata ab alvo Virginis
Nascendo formam sumpseris.
Maria, Mater gratiæ,
Dulcis parens clementiæ,
Tu nos ab hoste protege
Et mortis hora suscipe.
Jesu, tibi sit gloria,
Qui natus es de Virgine,
Cum Patre, et almo Spiritu,
In sempiterna sæcula. Amen.
Or for those who like English metrical renderings:
Remember, O Creator Lord,
that in the Virgin’s sacred womb
Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh
didst our mortality assume.
Mother of grace, O Mary blest,
to thee, sweet fount of love, we fly;
shield us through life, and take us hence
to thy dear bosom when we die.
O Jesu! born of Mary bright!
Immortal glory be to Thee;
praise to the Father infinite,
and Holy Ghost eternally. Amen.
The tune comes up quite a bit for hymns for Our Lady - a very useful one to learn. This hymn repeats through the Little Office so it doesn't take long to take root in your memory.
