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.
Kind mother of the Redeemer, the open gateway to heaven
and star of the sea. Help your fallen people who strive to rise again; we pray
you, who bore your holy son by a miracle of nature, a virgin first and last,
who received God’s greeting from the mouth of Gabriel, have mercy on sinners.
