Text and Translation
LatinAve, virgo virginum Ave, lumen luminum, Ave, stella praevia Mediatrix hominum Ablutrixque criminum Ave, virgo regia Castitatis lilium, Consolatrix omnium, Peccatorum venia. Munda sordes scelerum, Cicatrices vulnerum Terge, plena gratia. De peccati vinculo, Hoste, carne, saeculo, Libera nos, Maria. Tu nostrum refugium, Da reis remedium, Procul pelle vitia. Infirmos tu visita, Mortuos resuscita, Da maestis solacia. Per te iustis gratia, Per te reis venia Datur et laetitia. Virgo carens simili, Tu, quae mundo flebili Contulisti gaudia, Nos dignere visere, Ut cum Christo vivere Possimus in gloria.

Purify the filth of evil, The scars of wounds Clean, full of grace. Of the bond of sin, Of enemy, flesh, and worldly concern, Free us, Mary. You, our shelter, Give remedy to the guilty, Push away vices. Visit the infirm, Raise the dead, Give solace to the sad. Grace to the just, Forgiveness to the guilty Is given by you and joy. Virgin without equal, You who, to the tearful world Conferred joy, Deign to look at us, In order that with Christ We may live in glory.
