Alma Redemptoris Mater
Mother Benign of Our Redeeming Lord
Advent
MOTHER OF CHRIST, hear thou thy people’s cry
2. Star of the deep and Portal of the sky!
3. Mother of Him who thee made from nothing made.
4. Sinking we strive and call to thee for aid:
5. Oh, by what joy which Gabriel brought to thee,
6. Thou Virgin first and last, let us thy mercy see.
ALMA REDEMPTORIS MATER, qua pérvia caeli porta manes, et stella maris
2. Succúrre cadénti, súrgere qui curat pópulo:
3. Tu quae genuísti, natúra miránte, tuum sanctum Genitórem
4. Virgo prius ac postérius, Gabriélis ab ore sumens illud Ave, peccatórum miserére.
