Salve, radix, salve, porta,
Ex qua muudo Lux est orta.
Gaude, Virgo gloriosa,
Super omnes speciosa.
Vale, O valde decora!
Et pro nobis Christum exora.

Root of Jesse, Gate of morn.
Whence the world's true Light was born.
Glorious Virgin! joy to thee,
Loveliest whom in Heaven they see.
Fairest thou where all are fair!
Plead with Christ our sins to spare.

V. Dignare me laudare te, Virgo sacrata.

V. Vouchsafe that I may praise thee, O sacred Virgin.

R. Da mihi virtutem contra hostes tuos.

R. Give me strength against thine enemies.

Oremus.

Let us pray.

CONCEDE, misericors Deus, fragilitati nostræ præsidium; ut qui sanctæ Dei Genitricis memoriam agimus, intercessionis ejus auxilio a nostris iniquitatibus resurgamus. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum.

GRANT, O merciful God, defence to our weakness; that we who now celebrate the memory of the holy Mother of God may, by the aid of her intercession, rise again from our sins. Through the same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

R. Amen.
