Loving Mother of the Redeemer,
gate of heaven, star of the sea,
assist your people who have fallen, 
as we strive to rise again.
To the wonderment of nature, 
you bore your Creator,
yet remained a virgin after as before.

You who received Gabriel's joyful greeting
have pity on us poor sinners.                                    

Alma Redemptóris Mater
quæ pérvia cæli porta manes, et stella maris, 
succúrre cadénti.
Súrgere qui curat, pópulo: tu quæ genuísti, 
natúra miránte, tuum sanctum Genitórem,

Virgo prius ac postérius, Gabriélis ab ore 
sumens illud ave, peccatórum miserére.
