O come, let us exult in the Lord; let us rejoice before God our Saviour. Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving; and rejoice before Him with psalms.
      Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
      For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods; for the Lord will not cast off His people, for in His hand are all the ends of the earth ; and the heights of the mountains He beholdeth.
      The Lord is with thee.
      For the sea is His, and He made it; and His hands formed the dryland. Come, let us worship and fall down before God; let us weep before the Lord that made us; for He is the Lord our God; and we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
      Hail, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee.
      Today if ye shall hear His voice, harden not your hearts; as in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted Me, proved and saw My works.
      The Lord is with thee.
      Forty years long was I nigh unto that generation, and said: They do always err in their heart; and they have not known My ways, to whom I swore in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest.
      Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

      The Lord is with thee.
      Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

The Lord, Whom earth, and air, and sea
With one adoring voice resound;
Who rules them all in majesty;
In Mary's heart a cloister found.

Lo! in a humble virgin's womb
Overshadowed by almighty power,
He Whom the stars, and sun, and moon,
Each serve in their appointed hour.

O Mother blest, to whom was given
Within thy compass to contain
The Architect of earth and heaven,
Whose hands the universe sustain!

To thee was sent an angel down;
In thee the Spirit was enshrined;
From thee came forth that mighty One,
The long-desired of all mankind.

O Jesu! born of virgin bright,
Immortal glory be to Thee ;
Praise to the Father infinite,
And Holy Ghost eternally. Amen.

      My heart hath uttered a good word: I address my works to the King.
      My tongue is the pen of a writer that writeth swiftly.
      Thou art beautiful above the sons of men, grace is poured forth on Thy lips; therefore God hath blessed Thee for ever.
      Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O Thou most mighty.
      With Thy comeliness and Thy beauty, bend [Thy bow], advance prosperously, and reign.
      In behalf of truth and meekness and justice; and Thy right hand shall guide Thee wondrously.
      Thine arrows are sharp; under Thee shall the peoples fall, into the hearts of the King's enemies.
      Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the scepter of Thy kingdom is a scepter of uprightness.
      Thou lovest justice and hatest iniquity: therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows.
      Myrrh and aloes and cassia perfume Thy garments, from out of ivory palaces: from which kings' daughters gladden Thee in Thine honor.
      On Thy right hand standeth the Queen, in golden raiment wrought about with variety.
      Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people and thy father's house.
      And the King shall greatly desire thy beauty; for He is the Lord thy God, and Him they shall adore.
      And the daughters of Tyre, all the rich ones of the people, with gifts shall entreat thy face.
      All her glory [is that] of the King's daughter from within, with fringes of gold, arrayed in divers colors.
      After her shall virgins be brought unto the King: her neighbors shall be brought unto thee.
      With joy and gladness shall they be brought: they shall be brought into the temple of the King.
      Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
      They shall be mindful of thy name from generation to generation.
      Therefore shall the people praise thee for ever: yea for ever and ever.

      Our God is a refuge and strength; a helper in troubles, which have come upon us heavily.
      Therefore shall we not fear when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
      Their waters roar and are troubled: the mountains are troubled at the violence thereof.
      The stream of the river maketh glad the city of God: the Most High hath hallowed His tabernacle.
      God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved: God shall help her in the morning early.
      Nations were troubled, and kingdoms bowed down: He gave forth His voice: the earth quaked.
      The Lord of hosts is with us: the God of Jacob is our helper.
      Come ye and behold the works of the Lord: what wonders He hath wrought upon earth, making wars to cease even to the ends of the earth.
      He shall break the bow and snap the weapons in sunder; and the shields shall He burn with fire.
      Be still, and see that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
      The Lord of hosts is with us: the God of Jacob is our helper.

      His foundations are in the holy mountains; the Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the dwellings of Jacob.
      Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God.
      I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon, that know me.
      Behold strangers, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.
      Shall it not be said of Sion: This one, and that one, is born in her: and the Most High Himself hath founded her?
      The Lord shall tell it in His writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.
      As of people all rejoicing, so is our dwelling in thee.

      Through the prayers and merits of Blessed Mary, ever a virgin, and of all the saints, may the Lord bring us to the kingdom of heaven.

R. Amen.
V. Pray, a blessing.

May the Virgin Mary with her loving Child bless us.

R. Amen.

      The angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the Virgin's name was Mary. And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou amongst women. Do thou, Lord, have mercy on us.

R. Thanks be to God.

R. The angel Gabriel was sent to Mary, the Virgin, who was espoused to Joseph, declaring to her the word, and the Virgin trembles at the light. Fear not, Mary, thou hast found grace with the Lord: Behold, thou shalt conceive, and shalt bring forth, and He shall be called the Son of the Most High.

V. The Lord shall give unto Him the throne of David His father, and He shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. Behold, thou shalt conceive, and shalt bring forth, and He shall be called the Son of the Most High.

V. Pray, a blessing.

May the Virgin of virgins herself plead for us before the Lord.

R. Amen.

      And when she had heard these things, she was troubled at his saying, and thought within herself what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. Behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give unto Him the throne of David His father, and He shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end. Do thou, Lord, have mercy on us.

R. Thanks be to God.

R. Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; for the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

V. How shall this be done, seeing I know not man? And the angel answering said unto her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; for the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

V. Pray, a blessing.

Through the Virgin Mother may the Lord grant us salvation and peace.

R. Amen.

      And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, seeing I know not man? And the angel answering said unto her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren; for no word shall be impossible with God. And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to Thy word. Do Thou, Lord, have mercy on us.

R. Thanks be to God.

V. Yea, thou shalt bring forth a Son, and shalt suffer no loss of virginity: thou shalt be with child, and shalt be a mother ever undefiled. That thou mayest be called blessed amongst all women.

V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. That thou mayest be called blessed amongst all women.

      We praise Thee, O God; we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord.
      Thee, the Father everlasting, all the earth doth worship.
      To Thee all the angels, to Thee the heavens, and all the powers,
      To Thee the Cherubim and Seraphim cry out without ceasing:
      Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts.
      Full are the heavens and the earth of the majesty of Thy glory.
      Thee the glorious choir of the apostles.
      Thee the admirable company of the prophets.
      Thee the white-robed army of martyrs doth praise.
      Thee the holy Church throughout the world doth confess.
      The Father of incomprehensible Majesty.
      Thine adorable, true, and only Son.
      And the Holy Ghost the Paraclete.
      Thou, O Christ, art the King of glory.
      Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.
      Thou, having taken upon Thee to deliver man, didst not disdain the Virgin's womb.
      Thou, having overcome the sting of death, hast opened to believers the kingdom of heaven.
      Thou sittest at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father.
      Thou, we believe, art the Judge to come.

      We beseech Thee, therefore, to help Thy servants, whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.
      Make them to be numbered with Thy saints in glory everlasting.
      O Lord, save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance.
      And govern them, and exalt them for ever.
      Day by day we bless Thee.
      And we praise Thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
      Vouchsafe, O Lord, this day, to keep us without sin.
      Have mercy on us, O Lord; have mercy on us.
      Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us; as we have trusted in Thee.
      In Thee, O Lord, have I trusted: let me not be confounded for ever.
