Original text and translations

Latin text

In honore matris Dei
et ejus memoria decantemus omnes ei:
Ave plena gratia quae pro salute electa
humanae propaginis virgo mater es effecta Dei
sic et hominis super caeloque assumpta
juxta Dei dexteram teque venerantur
cuncta ut Dei matrem veram.

Ergo pro nobis beata nostri tu memineris
et virtute tibi data nobis auxilieris
O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Maria.
Amen.
