Hail, Holy Queen

Hail Holy Queen enthron'd above, O Maria 
Hail Mother of Mercy and of love O Maria

Triumph all ye Cherubim 
Sing with us ye Seraphim 
Heav'n and earth resound the hymn 
Salve Salve Salve Regina

Our life our sweetness here below O Maria 
Our hope in sorrow and in woe O Maria

Triumph all ye Cherubim 
Sing with us ye Seraphim 
Heav'n and earth resound the hymn 
Salve Salve Salve Regina

We honour you our Light our Sun, O Maria! 
Who has for us redemption won, O Maria!

Triumph all ye Cherubim 
Sing with us ye Seraphim 
Heav'n and earth resound the hymn 
Salve Salve Salve Regina

This is a Trinitarian hymn. In this case, God includes both Mother and Father. Bishop Katia spells it Godde so I will do so for this hymn. 
Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

Holy Godde, we praise Thy Name.
Godde of all, we bow before Thee!
All on earth Thy scepter claim,
All in Heaven above adore Thee;
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.
Hark! the loud celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising,
Cherubim and seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising;
Fill the heavens with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy,Godde.
Lo! the apostolic train
Join the sacred Name to hallow;
Prophets swell the loud refrain,
And the white robed martyrs follow;
And from morn to set of sun,
Through the Church the song goes on.
Holy Father, Holy One,
Holy Mother, Three we name Thee;
While in essence only One,
Undivided God we claim Thee;
And adoring bend the knee,
While we own the mystery.


The Hail Mary is a hymn, as well. I wish I was musically inclined so as to transcribe the musical notes. This is neither the traditional Ave Maria nor is it the Hail Mary, Gentle Mary folk style song, either. 
 If anyone is musically inclined and can bear with my voice, I will be happy to sing the notes.
The following hymn is sung during the May crowning of Our Ladys statue:
The May Crowning Hymn or Bring Flowers of the Rarest.
 
Bring Flowers of the Rarest 
This hymn is sung during the "May Crowning" -- the crowning of a statue of Mary in May and was taken from Pagan Sources. As with all the hymns, another Name for Thea may be used as well as Thea, Kyria, Lady and so forth. 

Bring flow'rs of the fairest,
Bring flow'rs of the rarest,
From garden and woodland
And hillside and vale;
Our full hearts are swelling,
Our Glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest
Rose of the vale.

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.

Our voices ascending,
In harmony blending,
Oh! Thus may our hearts turn
Dear Mother, to thee;
Oh! Thus shall we prove thee
How truly we love thee,
How dark without Mary
Life's journey would be.

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.

O Virgin most tender,
Our homage we render,
Thy love and protection,
Sweet Mother, to win;
In danger defend us,
In sorrow befriend us,
And shield our hearts
From contagion and sin.

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.

Of Mothers the dearest,
Oh, wilt thou be nearest,
When life with temptation
Is darkly replete?
Forsake us, O never!
Our hearts be they ever
As Pure as the lilies
We lay at thy feet.

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.

Immaculate Mary: 

Immaculate Mary
[The Lourdes Hymn]

Immaculate Mary, your praises we sing.
You reign now in Heaven with the Father, our King.

Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria!

In Heaven the blessed your glory proclaim;
On earth we your children invoke your sweet name.

Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria!

We pray for our Mother, the Church upon earth,
And bless, Holy Mary, the land of our birth.

Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria! 

Daily, Daily Sing to Mary.
 
Daily, Daily Sing to Mary 
Daily, daily sing to Mary, 
Sing, my soul, her praises due. 
All her feasts, her actions worship 
With the heart's devotion true. 
Lost in wond'ring contemplation, 
Be her Majesty confess'd. 
Call her Mother, call her Virgin, 
Happy Mother, Virgin blest. 

She is mighty to deliver. 
Call her, trust her lovingly. 
When the tempest rages round thee, 
She will calm the troubled sea. 
Gifts of heaven she has given, 
Noble Lady, to our race. 
She, the Queen, who decks her subjects 
With the light of God's own grace. 

Sing, my tongue, the Virgin's trophies 
Who for us her Maker bore. 
For the curse of old inflicted, 
Peace and blessing to restore. 
Sing in songs of peace unending, 
Sing the world's majestic Queen. 
Weary not nor faint in telling. 
All the gifts she gives to men. 
This was another favorite Trinitarian hymn.
The Latin title is Tantum Ergo.

Down in adoration falling, 
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! oe'r ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail. 
To the everlasting Father, 
And Our Lady Who reigns on high
from the Holy One proceeding
Forth from eternal Mystery,
Be salvation, honor blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
The Stabat Mater, which I will not reprint here is an hauntingly beautiful hymn. It is sung in Traditional Catholic Chapels on Good Friday during the Stations of the Cross. It is possible that it could be adapted for Filianists during our own Easter rites.
 
Mother Dearest, Mother Fairest

How we miss their presence here.

Hail, Queen of heav'n, the ocean star.  
Guide the wand'rer here below!  
Thrown on life's surge we claim thy care.  
Save us from peril and from woe.

To thee, blest advocate, we cry.  
Oh, pity our sorrows, calm our fears.  
And soothe with hope our misery.  
Refuge in grief, Star of the sea,  
Pray for the mourner, Oh, pray for me.
