The Marian Anthems are used by many Christians, especially at the end of night prayer (Compline).

Here they are in English:


THE ANTHEMS TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
The versicles, responses and collects may be
omitted. Alma Redemptoris Mater
Ave Regina Caelorum and Salve Regina
may be used at anytime out of Easter

[[Alma Redemptoris Mater]]
from Advent through Presentation

Mother of Christ, O hear your people’s cry,
Star of the deep, and portal of the sky!
Mother of him who you from nothing made,
Sinking we strive, and call to you for aid;
Oh, by that joy which Gabriel brought to you,
O Virgin, first and last, show us mercy too.

Advent Sunday to Christmas Eve

V. The angel of the Lord brought news to Mary,
R. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Let us pray.

We pray you, Lord, pour your grace
into our hearts, that as we have known
through the message of an angel,
that your Son Jesus Christ became human,
so by his cross and suffering we may be
brought to the glory of his rising again,
through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

From Christmas until Presentation

V. Behold the servant of the Lord.
R. Let it be to me according to your word.

Let us pray.

O God, by the fruitful virginity
of blessed Mary you have given
humankind the rewards of eternal
salvation: grant, we pray, that we may
know the intercession for us of the one
through whom we were deemed worthy
to receive the author of life, your Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

[[AveE Regina Caelorum]]
From Presentation until Easter
or during Lent

Hail, Queen of heaven, beyond compare,
to whom the angels homage pay;
hail, root of Jesse, gate of light,
that opened for the world's new day.

Rejoice, O Virgin unsurpassed,
in whom our ransom was begun,
for all your loving children pray
to Christ, our Savior and your Son.

V. Grant that I may praise you, O sacred Virgin.
R. Give me the strength against your enemies.

Let us pray.

Grant us protection in our weakness,
O merciful God, that we who commemorate
the holy Mother of God may triumph over
our iniquities with the help of her intercession,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


[[Regina Caeli]]
during Easter

Joy to you, O Queen of Heaven, Alleluia!
He whom you were fit to bear, Alleluia!
As He promised has arisen, Alleluia!
Pour for us to God your prayer, Alleluia!

V. Rejoice and be glad O Virgin Mary , Alleluia
R. For the Lord is risen indeed, Alleluia!

Let us pray

O God, who have graciously given
joy to the world in the resurrection
of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ;
grant, we pray, that with the help of
his mother the Virgin Mary,
we may attain to the joys of ever-lasting life
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

[[Salve Regina]]
After Pentecost (and in Epiphany)

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this exile show to us
the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus:
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

May God’s help be with us always, and may the souls
of those who died in faith, through the mercy of God,
rest in peace. Amen.
