Text and Translation:
 
 

Alma Redemptóris Máter,
Quæ pérvia cǽli pórta mánes,
Et stélla máris, succúrre cadénti,
Súrgere qui cúrat pópulo:
Tu quæ genuísti, natúra miránte,
Túum sánctum Genitórem :
Vírgo príus ac postérius,
Gabriélis ab óre súmens íllud Ave,
Peccatórum miserére.

Loving Mother of the Redeemer,
Who remains the open gate of Heaven,
And Star of the Sea, succor the fallen,
Uplift the striving people:
O Thou who bore, as nature marvelled,
Thy Holy Creator:
Virgin before and virgin after,
Who from Gabriel's mouth received that Ave,
Have mercy upon us sinners.
