Ave, spes nostra, Dei Genitrix Virgo intacta
ave, illud Ave per angelum concipiens
ave, concipiens Patris splendorem benedicta

Alleluia

English text

Hail, our hope, untouched Virgin Mother of God
hail, who accepted that Hail from the angel
hail, blessed one, who conceived the splendor of the Father
hail, most saintly Virgin
and only chaste mother
every creature glorifies you, the Mother of light.
Alleluia
