V. Sovereign Queen of heaven and earth hasten to my assistance.

R. And employ your power to defend me from the mighty enemies of my salvation.

V. 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 one God, world without end. Amen.

Hymn

Hail, wise Virgin, more than all virgins, House specially consecrated to the true God, and which the Divine Wisdom has adorned with seven mysterious pillars, and with that sacred table on which is served the bread of angels and the wheat of the elcet! You have been preserved by a singular privilege from the contagion which has infected all men, having been sanctified in the womb of your mother before you saw the day. You are the mother of the living, and the gate of heaven. You are that new star of Jacob which announced the coming of the Messiah! Sovereign Queen of Angels, sacred habitation of the Word Incarnate , formidable to the whole power of hell, Protectress more invincible than an army in battle array, be the asylum and the safe port of all Christians!  Amen.
