The words
Verse 1
Alma Redemptoris Mater, Redemptoris Mater, quae pervia, quae pervia caeli porta manes, et stella maris, et stella maris, succurre cadenti, succurre cadenti, surgere, surgere qui curat populo, qui curat populo, qui curat populo, qui curat populo, qui curat populo. Tu quae genuisti, natura mirante, natura mirante, tuum sanctum Genitorem, tuum sanctum Genitorem. Virgo prius, Virgo prius ac posterius, Gabrielis ab ore sumens illud Ave peccatorum miserere, peccatorum miserere, peccatorum miserere, peccatorum miserere.
