Words Of Hail Mary

[DojoGrant]

I have always seen the words of the Hail Mary as ending with:

"Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death."

However, lately, I have heard people praying, "now, and TO the hour of our death."

It just comes out a little odd when praying the Rosary with many people and there are two camps saying two different things. They both are asking fundamentally the same thing of Mary, but yet, there is a difference.

Is one more traditional or appropriate?

The traditional formula "now and at the hour of our death" is the correct one I have no idea where there other came from
