Original text and translations

Latin text

Ave Trinitatis sacrarium,
ave mundi sanctuarium,
ave virtutum viridarium.

Salve lux orta luminum,
gaude media Dei et hominum,
stella clara navigantium,
scutum forte militantium,
stola candida triumphantium.

Magna virginitate,
major humilitate,
maxima charitate.

Ante partum sacrata,
in partu immaculata,
post partum inviolata.

O mater, o dulcis, o pia,
o virgo, o clemens, o Maria,
o scala, o porta, o coeli via.

Ora pro nobis.
