Alma Redemptoris Mater,
quae pervia coeli porta manes.
Et stella maris, succurre cadenti
surgere qui curat populo,
succurre, succurre cadenti
surgere qui curat populo;
Tu quae genuisti, natura
mirante tuum sanctum Genitorem:
Virgo prius ac posterius,
Gabrielis abore sumens illud Ave,
peccatorum miserere, peccatorum miserere.
