Opening Hymn: Magna Regina Sanctissima Rosarii
1) Great Queen of the holy rosary,2) We tune our harps to sing Thy praise, baptise us as we pray. with hope's peace unafraid. Shower mightily shafts so sweet, E'en in life's most serpentine maze, Thy star's embold'ning rays. our trust in Thee is laid. We cast our prayers at Thy blest feet, All our hearts become Thine altar, a bouquet most sublime. which were darkest, cold stone, They form a Lake of Mysteries, now blazing brightly with fervor, a Ring of love divine. as our prayers now we rown.
3) Great Queen of the holy rosary, with grace envelop us! Cast o'er Thy servants Thy mystic mantle most glorious! Guide us when Death's strong grip will come to Avalon's soft shoals. Thy wondrous words of true Wisdom scribe deep within our souls!
