Lyrics for Song: Hail Holy Queen
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Sister Act



Hail holy Queen enthroned above,
Oh Maria,
Hail mother of Mercy and of Love,
Oh Maria,

Triumph all ye cherubim!
Sing with us ye seraphim!
Heaven and Earth, resound the hymn!

Salve (salve), salve, salve Regina!

(Clapping Hands)

Hail holy Queen enthroned above,
Oh Maria,
Hail mother of Mercy and of Love,
Oh Maria,

Triumph all ye cherubim!
Sing with us ye seraphim!
Heaven and Earth, resound the hymn!

Salve, salve-salve, salve Regina!

(Piano)

Our life, our sweetness here below,
(Oh-o-o)Oh Maria,
Our hope in sorrow and in woe (woe-oh-oh),
Oh Maria,

Triumph all ye cherubim (cherubim),
Sing with us ye seraphim (seraphim),
Heaven and Earth resound the Hymn!

Salve, salve-salve, salve Regina!

A-le-lu-iah

Mater ad mater inter marata
Sanctus sanctus dominus
Virgo respice mater ad spice
Sanctus sanctus dominus

A-le-lu-iah (A-le-lu-iah)

Our life, our sweetness here below,
Oh-o-oh-o Maria,
Our hope in sorrow and in woe,
Woh-o-oh-o Maria,

Triumph all ye cherubim (cherubim),
Sing with us ye seraphim (sweet seraphim)
Heaven and Earth, resound the Hymn!

Salve, salve-salve, salve Regina! (Salve yeah)
Salve Regina! (woh-o-oh)
Salve Regina!


Hail Holy Queen

Sister Act's recording of 'Hail Holy Queen' stands as a defining example of their unique fusion of traditional gospel and contemporary R&B. The track transforms the ancient Catholic hymn into a vibrant, soulful anthem that showcases the group's signature ability to blend sacred texts with modern musicality. By stripping away traditional accompaniment and focusing on intricate vocal harmonies and rhythmic delivery, the song recontextualizes the liturgical text for a secular audience. It exemplifies Sister Act's broader discography of taking well-known spiritual or religious material and infusing it with a distinct, upbeat, and often humorous gospel aesthetic. The recording remains a staple in their live performances and digital catalog, illustrating their commitment to making sacred music accessible and engaging through a contemporary lens.
