Alma Redemptoris Mater,
quae pervia caeli porta manes,
et stella maris,
succure cadenti,
Surgere qui curat populo:
tu quae genuisti,
natural mirante;
tuum sanctum Genitorem,
Virgo prius ac posterius,
Gabrielis ab ore sumens illud Ave,
peccatorum miserere.
V.
Post partum Virgo inviolata permansisti.
R.
Dei Genitrix intercede pro nobis.
V.
Oremus: Deus, qui salutis aeternae, beatae Mariae virginitate foecunda, humano generi praemia praestitisti: tribue quasumus; ut ipsam pro nobis intercedere sentiamus, per quam meruimus auctorem vitae suscipere, Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium tuum.
R.
Amen.
And in
English:
Gracious Mother of our Redeemer,
forever abiding,
Heaven's gateway,
and star of the sea,
O
succor of the
people,
who though falling,
strive to
rise again.
Thou
maiden who bearest they holy Creator,
to the wonder of all
nature;
ever virgin, after as before,
thou receivest that Ave from the mouth of Gabriel:
have compassion for us sinners.
V.
After childbearing, O Virgin, thou didst to remain inviolate.
R.
Intercede for us, O Mother of God.
V.
Let us pray: O God, who by the fruitful virginity of blessed Mary has bestowed on mankind the reward of eternal salvation: grant, we beseech thee, that we may know the help of her
intercession, through whom we have been accounted worthy to receive the
Author of our Lives, Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord.
R.
Amen.
