Votive antiphon: Eighth Tune — Tallis
God grant with grace,
He us embrace,
In gentle part,
Bliss be our heart:
With loving face
Shine He in place,
His mercies all
On us to fall.
That we Thy way
May know all day,
While we do sail
This world so frail:
Thy health’s reward
Is nigh declared,
As plain at eye
All Gentiles spy

Lovely beyond all others,
Farewell, most beautiful maiden,
And pray for us to Christ.

Loving mother of the Redeemer,
gate of heaven, star of the sea,

You who received Gabriel’s joyful greeting,
have pity on us poor sinners.
