This Marian hymn is from around the 18th century. This particular version, by the Cathedral Singers of Richard Proulx, is highly abridged of the original. The three beautiful paintings are 'The Annunciation' (Francesco de Mura), 'The Song of the Angels' (William Bouguereau), and 'The Annunciation' (supposedly Andrea del Sarto, but I have my doubts). The lyrics of this version and the rough English translation are as follows:

O sanctissima, O piissima, Dulcis Virgo Maria!

Mater amata, Intemerata:

Ora, ora pro nobis!

Tua guadia Et suspiria Juvent nos, O Maria!

In te speramus, Ad te clamamus,

Ora, ora pro nobis!

O most holy one, O most lowly one,

Loving virgin, Mary!

Mother of tender love,

Queen of the heavens above,

Pray for us here below!

Virgin ever fair, hear our fervent prayer,

Look upon us, Mary!

Bring to us your treasure, grace beyond measure;

Pray for us here below!

This song is beautiful to listen to year round but it’s even more beautiful around the time of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and Christmas.

It is with the voices of man the Holy Spirit chooses to speak, and it is the hearts of man in which He chooses to dwell. The Spirit is calling us deeper into the mystery of the incarnation, through these beautiful praises of Mary we see the beauty of the love between Mother and Son, but most of all between God and His people. One that lacked nothing and in which God gave everything, including the Life of His only Begotten son.
