Hymn

Maria, mater gratiae,
Dulcis parens clementiae,
Tu nos ab hoste protege,
Et mortis hora suscipe.
Jesu, tibi sit gloria,
Qui natus es de Virgine,
Cum Patre et almo Spiritu,
In sempiterna saecula. Amen.

Translation:

Mary, gracious mother,
Sweet fount of mercy,
Protect us from the foe,
And receive us in our hour of death.
Jesu, glory be to Thee,
Born of the Virgin,
With the Father and the Holy Spirit,
For ever and ever. Amen. [2]
