Little Office of the Immaculate Conception
At Matins
Come, my lips, and wide proclaim
The Blessed Virgin's spotless fame.
O LADY! make speed to befriend me.
R. From the hands of the enemy mightily defend me.
V. Glory be to the Father, etc. Allelulia.
From Septuagesima to Easter, instead of Alleluia is said:
Praise be to Thee, O Lord, King of everlasting glory.
HYMN
Hail, Queen of the heavens!
Hail, Mistress of earth!
Hail, Virgin most pure Of immaculate birth!
Clear Star of the morning
In beauty enshrined!
O Lady! make speed
To the help of mankind.
