Alma Redemptoris Mater (seasonal Marian antiphon)
(music below)
O loving mother of the Savior,
ever the open gate to heaven,
and star of the sea,
O hasten to aid us,
who though falling strive to rise again.
Bearing, as a virgin, while nature stood in awe,
your own Maker, your own holy Lord,
ever virgin, after as before,
when the mouth of Gabriel uttered that great “Ave,”
O take pity on us sinners.
