lyrics

ALMA REDEMPTORIS MATER, QUÆ PERVIA CÆLI. PORTA MANES, ET STELLA MARIS, SUCCURRE CADENTI. SURGERE QUI CURAT, POPULO: TU QUÆ GENUISTI, NATURA MIRANTE, TUUM SANCTUM GENITOREM. VIRGO PRIUS AC POSTERIUS, GABRIELIS AB ORE. SUMENS ILLUD AVE, PECCATORUM MISERERE. AMEN.

Loving Mother of the Redeemer, who remains the open gate of Heaven, and the Star of the Sea, give aid to a falling people that strives to rise; o Thou who begot Thy Holy Creator, while all nature marvelled. Virgin before and after receiving that greeting from the mouth of Gabriel, have mercy on sinners. Amen.
