The words to this Gregorian Chant say: 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 sight, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us. And after this, our exile, show us the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet Virgin Mary.

The words alternate between Saint Joseph and the man of the house. Joseph asks for lodging, and the man of the house, suspicious of them, refuses. Joseph explains that his wife Mary cannot walk, but the man of the house again refuses, and threatens to beat them if they don’t go away. Joseph finally explains that Mary will be the Mother of the Divine World, convincing the man of the house, who apologizes and welcomes them into his home.
