Ave, maris stella,
Dei Mater alma,
atque semper Virgo,
felix cœli porta.
Sumens illud Ave
Gabrielis ore,
funda nos in pace,
mutans Hevæ nomen.
Solve vincula reis,
profer lumen cæcis,
mala nostra pelle,
bona cuncta posce.
Monstra te esse matrem,
sumat per te precem
qui pro nobis natus
tulit esse tuus.
