Ave maris stella lucens miseris,
Deitatis cella, porta principis,
paradisi patens pons
tu cypressus, Sion mons,
peccatorum fons.
Patris sub vmbramine
Natus es ex Virgine
sacro flamine.
Regis diadema,
stola praesidis,
Samsonis problema,
funda Dauidis,
turris per quam transit gens,
Deum verum timens ens,
ne desperet flens,
tu es Salomonis res,
in te tota nostra spes
agitur per tres.
Autor pietatis,
spes fidelium
radix sanctitatis,
fer auxilium.
Vrna coeli manans ros,
tu es ille Isse flos,
qui saluauit nos,
rubus, quem non vrit pyr,
positus sub patris ir',
tu coelestis vir.
