Lyrics & English Translation
Hail Mary, full of grace,
chosen among wives and maidens art thou,
blessed be the fruit, o blessed one, of thy womb, Jesus.
Pray for the one who kneels in prayer before you,
pray for the sinner, for the one who is innocent,
and for the weak and oppressed, and for the mighty, also wretched, show thy mercy.
Pray for the one who bows his head under injustice and under misfortune;
for us, pray thou for us, pray ever and in the hour of our death, pray for us, pray for us, pray.
Hail Mary . . . in the hour of our death.
Hail! Amen!
