Chant Of The Templars.

Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae:
      Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae.
      Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
      Eia ergo, Advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos
      ad nos converte.
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
      nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens: O pia: O dulcis
      Virgo Maria.


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

V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

The following three paragraphs are from http://www.chantcd.com

This Marian Hymn (Salve Regina) is sung after Compline for most of the Liturgical Year. When it is not sung, another Marian Hymn, more in tune with the Liturgical Season, is sung, instead. The Church prizes devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary so highly, and deems it so necessary, that she requires it of all her Priests and Religious.

This Hymn is actually a very common Prayer: The Hail Holy Queen, recited at the end of the Holy Rosary. This is in the top five Catholic Prayers, as far as general familiarity and frequency of use are concerned.

There are two Chant versions of this Prayer: The Solemn Version, sung on Sundays and Feast Days, and the Simple Version. The Solemn Version is longer, but they are both beautiful.

The following Paragraph is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.

The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Latin: Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici), commonly known as The Knights Templar, the Order of the Temple (French: Ordre du Temple or Templiers) or simply as Templars, were among the most wealthy and powerful of the Western Christian Military Orders and were among the most relevant actors of the Christian finance. The organisation existed for nearly two Centuries during the Middle Ages.




Salve Regina.
Chanted by the Choir of the Abbey of Notre-Dame, Fontgombault. 
It is a beautiful version of this Anthem to our Blessed Mother. 
Ave Maria!

Zdravo, Kraljice, majko milosrđa,
živote, slasti i ufanje naše zdravo.
K tebi vapijemo prognani sinovi Evini.
K tebi uzdišemo tugujući i plačući u ovoj suznoj dolini.
Svrni, dakle, odvjetnice naša,
one svoje milostive oči na nas
te nam poslije ovoga progona pokaži Isusa,
blagoslovljeni plod utrobe svoje.
O blaga, o mila, o slatka Djevice Marijo.
