V. May Jesus Christ, thy Son, reconciled by thy prayers, O Lady, convert our hearts.

R. And turn away His anger from us.

Glory be, etc. Alleluia.

Hymn

Hail, Mother most pure!
Hail, Virgin renowned!
Hail, Queen with the stars
As a diadem crowned!

Above all the Angels
In glory untold,
Standing next to the King
In a vesture of gold!

O Mother of Mercy!
O Star of the wave!
O Hope of the guilty!
O Light of the grave!

Through thee may we come
To the haven of rest;
And see heaven’s King
In the courts of the blest!

Amen.

V. Thy name, O Mary, is as oil poured out.
R. Thy servants have loved thee exceedingly.
V. O Lady, recommend my prayer.

R. And let my cry come unto thee.

V. Let us bless the Lord.

R. Thanks be to God.

V. May the souls of the faithful, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

R. Amen.

Let us pray.

Holy Mary, Queen of heaven, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Mistress of the world, who forsakes no one, and despises no one; look upon me, O lady, with an eye of pity, and entreat for me, of they beloved son, the forgiveness of all my sins; that, as I now celebrate with devout affection thy holy and immaculate conception, so hereafter I may receive the prize of eternal blessedness, by the grace of him whom thou, in virginity, didst bring forth, Jesus Christ our Lord: who, with the father and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth, in perfect unity, God, world without end. Amen. 

The Commendation

These praises and prayers
We lay at thy feet,
O Virgin of virgins!
O Mary most sweet!

Be thou our true guide
Through this pilgrimage here
And stand by our side
When death draweth near.

Amen.

R. Thanks be to God.

Here the Office ends. But in the official text the following prayers are appended to be said ad libitum.

Thou art all fair, O Mary:
And the original stain was never in thee.
Thou art the glory of Jerusalem:
Thou art the joy of Israel:
Thou art the honour of our people.
O Mary, O Mary,
Virgin most prudent,
Mother most clement,
Pray for us,
Intercede for us,
To Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ant. Thy Conception, O Virgin Mother of God, heralded joy to the whole world; for from thee came Christ, our God; who doing away with the curse brought us blessing, and putting death to confusion gave us the gift of everlasting life.

Amen.
