Ave, maris stella, Dei mater alma, Atque semper virgo, Felix coeli porta. Sumens illud Ave Gabrielis ore, funda nos in pace, mutans Hevae nomen. Solve vincula reis: Profer lumen caecis, Mala nostra pelle, Bona cuncta posce. Monstra te esse matrem: sumat per te preces, qui pro nobis natus, tulit esse tuus. Virgo singularis, inter omnes mitis, nos culpis solutos, mites fac et castos. Vitam praesta puram, Iter para tuum, Ut, videntes Iesum, Semper collaetemur. Sit laus Deo Patri, Summo Christo decus, Spiritui sancto; Tribus honor unus.

Ole tervehditty, meren tähti, suloinen Jumalanäiti, ainainen neitsyt ja varma portti taivaaseen. Sinä, joka sait tervehdyksen Gabrielin suusta, tuo meille rauha muuttamalla Evan nimi. Kirvoita tuomittujen kahleet, anna valo sokeiden silmiin, karkota meistä kaikki paha, opeta meidät tekemään hyvää. Näytä, että olet äiti. Sinun kauttasi kuulkoon pyyntömme Hän, joka meidän tähtemme syntyi sinun Pojaksesi. Neitsyt, jonka vertaista ei ole, lempeämpi kuin kukaan muu, vapauta meidät synneistämme, tee meidät nöyriksi ja puhtaiksi. Anna meille puhdas elämä ja ohjaa meidät oikealle tielle, että saisimme nähdä Jeesuksen ja osaksemme iankaikkisen ilon. Kiitos ja kunnia olkoon Isän ja Pojan ja Pyhän Hengen, kolmiyhteisen Jumalan. Aamen.
