Salve, mundi Domina,
Cœlorum Regina:
Salve, Virgo virginum,
Stella matutina.

Salve, plena gratia,
Clara luce divina:
Mundi in auxilium,
Domina, festina.

Ab æterno Dominus
Te præordinavit
Matrem unigeniti
Verbi, quo creavit.

Terram, pontum, æthera
Te pulchram ornavit
Sibi Sponsam, quæ in
Adam non peccavit.
Amen.

(The same in English.)

Hail, Queen of the heavens!
Hail, Mistress of earth!
Hail, Virgin most pure,
Of immaculate birth!

Clear star of the morning,
In beauty enshrined!
O Lady, make speed
To the help of mankind.

Thee God in the depth
Of eternity chose;
And formed thee all fair
As his glorious Spouse;

And called thee his Word’s
Own Mother to be,
By whom he created
The earth, sky, and sea. Amen.
