ALMA REDEMPTORIS MATER,
quae pervia caeli porta manes,
Et stella maris,
succurre cadenti
surgere qui curat populo:

Tu quae genuisti,
natura mirante,
tuum sanctum Genitorem:

Virgo prius ac posterius,
Gabrielis ab ore
sumens illud Ave,
peccatorum miserere.


ENGLISH
Sweet Mother of the Redeemer,
that passage to heaven,
gate of the morning,
and star of the sea:

Assist the fallen,
lift up, you who cure, the people:

You who bore to the wonderment of nature,
your holy Creator.
Virgin before and after,
who received from Gabriel
that joyful greeting,
have mercy on us sinners.
