Maria,
virgo virginum,
exaudi
vota servorum ,
iugi
prece nos conserva
ac
te colentes adiuva.
Audemus
proni rogare:
Audire
nostros dignare
in
tuo melos honore
ac
pro nobis intercede.
Iuncta
choris angelicis,
nos
salva patrociniis,
ut
perpetim cum civibus
gaudeamus
celestibus.
Gloria
tibi, domine,
qui natus es
O Mary, Virgin of virgins, hear the prayers of
your servants, preserve us by your perpetual prayer and come to the aid of
those who celebrate you. On bended knee we are bold to pray: vouchsafe to hear
our sweet hymns in your honor and intercede for us. Joined to the angelic choirs, save us by your
patronage, that we may forever rejoice
with the citizens of heaven.
