Ave virgo sanctissima

Dei mater piisima

Maris stella clarissima

Salve semper gloriosa

Margarita pretiosa

Sicut lilium formosa

Nitens olens velut rosa

English translation

Hail, Holy Virgin,

most blessed Mother of God,

bright star of the sea.

Hail, ever glorious,

precious pearl,

lovely as the lily,

beautiful and perfumed as the rose.

Dutch translation

Wees gegroet, allerheiligste maagd

meest goedertieren moeder van god

helderste sterre der zee

gegroet, altijd roemrijke vrouwe

kostbare parel

als een lelie zo schoon

en teder en geurig als rozen

German translation

Sei gegrüßet, heiligste Jungfrau,

hochgesegnete Mutter Gottes,

hellster Meeresstern.

Sei gegrüßet, allzeit Ruhmreiche,

kostbare Perle,

schön wie die Lilie,

prächtig und wohlriechend wie die Rose.
