Original text and translations

Latin text Ave Virgo gratiosa Stella sola clarior Mater Dei gloriosa Favo melis dulcior Rubicunda plusquam rosa lilio candidior. Omnis virtus te decorat Omnis sanctus te honorat Iesus Christus te exaltat In coelis sublimior.

English translation Hail graceful Virgin, Star brighter than the Sun, Glorious Mother of God, Sweeter than honeycomb, Ruddier than the rose, whiter than the lily. Every virtue adorns thee Every saint honours thee Jesus Christ exalts thee above the heavens.
