Ave, maris stella,
Dei mater alma,
Atque semper virgo,
Felix coeli porta.

 ... 

Solve vincula reis:
Profer lumen caecis,
Mala nostra pelle,
Bona cuncta posce.

 ... 

Vitam praesta puram,
Iter para tuum,
Ut, videntes Iesum,
Semper collaetemur. 

Sit laus Deo Patri,
Summo Christo decus,
Spiritui sancto;
Tribus honor unus.
