Latin text
- 1.
- Angelus ad Virginem
- Sub intrans in conclave,
- Virginis formidinem
- Demulcens, inquit: Ave!
- Ave regina virginum;
- Caeli terraeque Dominum
- Concipies
- Et paries intacta
- Salutem hominum;
- Tu porta caeli facta,
- Medela criminum.
- 2.
- Quomodo conciperem
- Quae virum non cognovi?
- Qualiter infringerem
- Quod firma mente vovi?
- Spiritus Sancti gratia
- Perficiet haec omnia;
- Ne timeas,
- Sed gaudeas, secura
- Quod castimonia
- Manebit in te pura
- Dei potentia.
- 3.
- Ad haec virgo nobilis
- Respondens inquit ei:
- Ancilla sum humilis
- Omnipotentis Dei.
- Tibi caelesti nuntio,
- Tanti secreti conscio,
- Consentiens,
- Et cupiens videre
- Factum quod audio;
- Parata sum parere,
- Dei consilio.
- 4.
- Eia mater Domini,
- Quae pacem redidisti
- Angelis et homini,
- Cum Christum genuisti:
- Tuum exora filium
- ut se nobis propitium
- Exhibeat,
- Et deleat peccata:
- Praestans auxilium
- Vita frui beata
- Post hoc exsilium
