Hymnus
Præclára custos vírginum Deíque mater ínnuba, cæléstis aulæ iánua, spes nostra, cæli gáudium;
Inter rubéta lílium, colúmba formosíssima, e stirpe virga gérminans nostro medélam vúlneri;
Turris dracóni impérvia, amíca stella náufragis, defénde nos a fráudibus tuáque luce dírige.
Thou Tower against the dragon proof, Thou Star to storm-tossed voyagers dear; Our course lies oer a treacherous deep, Thine be the light by which we steer.
Erróris umbras díscute, syrtes dolósas ámove, fluctus tot inter, déviis tutam reclúde sémitam.
Scatter the mists that round us hang; Keep far the fatal shoals away; And while through darkling waves we sweep, Open a path to light and day.
Quæ labe nostræ oríginis intácta splendes única, serpéntis artes æmuli elúde vindex ínclita.
Patri sit et Paráclito tuóque Nato glória, qui sanctitátis únicæ te munerárunt grátia. Amen.
