Latin text
Virgo precellens, deitatis mater,
nobis in terris hodie concedas
ut tibi puris resonemus omnes:
Ave Maria.
Anna te mundo genuit beata;
tu bonum nobis peperisti pacem.
Nos tibi fusi veniam rogamus,
Virgo Maria.
Pacis in terris chorus angelorum
nuntiat tempus cui bona voluntas,
laudibus qui te veneramur unam,
Sancta Maria.
Ergo te nostre quoniam salutatis
causa produit, miserere plebis
quam tuus fecit puer et creavit,
Digna Maria.
Iam mine ferre sileant et nostri
sit tibi regis populi quam cura
ut viam semper teneant electam,
Digna Maria.
Amen.
