    Alma Redemptóris Mater, quæ pérvia cæli porta manes, et stella maris, succúrre cadénti, súrgere qui curat, pópulo: tu quæ genuísti, Natúra miránte, tuum sanctum Genitórem, Virgo prius ac postérius, Gabriélis ab ore sumens illud Ave, peccatórum miserére.

    V. Post partum, Virgo, invioláta permansísti.
    R. Dei Génetrix, intercéde pro nobis.

    Orémus.
    Deus, qui salútis ætérnæ, beátæ Maríæ virginitáte fecúnda, humáno géneri prǽmia præstitísti: tríbue, quǽsumus; ut ipsam pro nobis intercédere sentiámus, per quam merúimus auctórem vitæ suscípere, Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum. Amen.

    Mother of Christ, hear thou thy people's cry, Star of the deep and Portal of the sky! Mother of Him who thee from nothing made. Sinking we strive and call to thee for aid: O, by what joy which Gabriel brought to thee, Thou Virgin first and last, let us thy mercy see.

    V. After childbirth thou didst remain a virgin.
    R. Intercede for us, O Mother of God.

    Let us pray.
    O God, who, by the fruitful virginity of blessed Mary, hast bestowed upon mankind the reward of eternal salvation: grant, we beseech thee, that we may experience her intercession, through whom we have been made worthy to receive the author of life, Our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son. Amen.
