The most used prayers of the Divine Mercy Chaplet in Latin and English can be found here

At one time there was a great deal of controversy surrounding Bl. Faustina and the devotion to the Divine Mercy, largely due to misconceptions caused by the numerous spurious translations of her diary. Given the confusion of the time, Pope John XXIII prudently censured the devotion. However, a certa...

PART 2 OF 2
Invocation of the Archangel Gabriel
O Blessed archangel Gabriel, We beseech thee to intercede for us at the throne of Divine Mercy in our Present necessities, that, as you did Announce to Mary and Joseph the Mystery of the Incarnation, so through your prayers and Patronage in heaven we may obtain the Benefits of the same, and sing the praise of God forever.

Pray, O Gabriel, for the Church militant, and defend her against the attacks of hell. The times are evil, the spirits of malice are let loose, nor can we make a stand against them unless with God’s help. It is by His holy angels that He gives victory to His bride.
Be thou, O strength of God, foremost in the ranks.

You behold the Glory of God in heaven, and bring grace from on high to earth, O wise Gabriel, Leader of Angels, minister of God's glory and champion of the world. Find a holy spouse for those in need, save and preserve those who cry to thee. Be our helper, and no one will be against us!
Drive heresy back, keep schism down, foil the false wisdom of men, frustrate the policy of the world, arouse the well minded from apathy, that thus the Christ whom you announced may reign over the earth He has redeemed,
and that we may sing together with you and the whole angelic choir,
“Glory be to God, peace to men!”

Amen.
Let us pray:
Oh God, Who from among all the angels chose the Archangel Gabriel to announce the Mystery of Your Incarnation, mercifully grant that we who honor him on earth may feel the effect of his patronage in heaven. Who lives and reigns with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen

PART 1 of 2: For the end of the Joyful Mysteries, one could very fittingly substitute the Salve Regina and St Michael prayer, for a proper hymn, collect prayer of the Advent and Christmas seasons, and invoke of the Archangel of the Annunciations and Incarnation, Gabriel:

The Alma Redemptoris Mater:
Loving Mother of the Redeemer, you remain the accessible Gateway of Heaven, and Star of the Sea,
Give aid to a falling people that strives to rise;
O You who made flesh, to the wonderment of nature, Your holy Creator - Virgin before and after - from the mouth of Gabriel, receiving that "Ave," have mercy on us sinners.

℣. Ángelus Dómini nuntiávit Maríæ|The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary
℟. Et concépit de Spíritu Sancto|And she conceived by the Holy Spirit
℣. Post Partum Virgo invioláta permansísti|After birth, O Virgin, you remained inviolate
℟. Dei Génitrix, intercéde pro nobis|Intercede for us, O Holy Mother of God!

Pour forth we beseech Thee, O LORD, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an Angel, may, by His Passion and Cross, be brought to the glory of His Resurrection.
O God, Who by the fruitful virginity of blessed Mary, hast given to mankind the rewards of eternal salvation: grant, we beseech Thee, that we may experience her intercession for us, through whom we deserved to receive the Author of life, our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
℟. Amen.

I love the Salve Regina/Hail Holy Queen and Saint Michael prayer after the Rosary as much as any good Catholic!

Did you know that there is a proper collect prayer that should follow after the prayer of the Salve Regina?!

In the Scriptural Rosary podcast, here is how they're invoked. After offering the Salve, at the end of the Glorious Mysteries, we pray:
Almighty, everlasting God, Who by the cooperation of the Holy Spirit, prepared the body and soul of the glorious Virgin-Mother Mary to become a worthy dwelling for Thy Son; grant that we who rejoice in her commemoration may, by her loving intercession, be delivered from present evils and from the everlasting death. Through the same Christ our Lord.

OR (In Easter time)
Regina caeli, laetare, alleluia | Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia
Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia | The Son you merited to bear, alleluia
Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia. | Has risen, as He said, alleluia.
Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia. | Pray to God for us, alleluia.

℣. Gaude et laetare, Virgo Maria, alleluia | Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
℟. Quia surrexit Dominus vere, alleluia | For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.
Orémus:
GOD, Who didst vouchsafe to give joy to the world through the Resurrection of Thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ; grant, we beseech Thee, that through His Mother, the Virgin Mary, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through Your only begotten Son, You have conquered death, and thrown open to us the gate of Everlasting Life; give effect by Your assistance to our desires, which You anticipate and inspire. Through the same Christ our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen!
