Lyrics: 

INVIOLATA, integra, et casta es Maria,
quae es effecta fulgida caeli porta.
O Mater alma Christi carissima,
suscipe pia laudum praeconia.    
Te nunc flagitant devota corda et ora,
nostra ut pura pectora sint et corpora.    
Tu per precata dulcisona,
nobis concedas veniam per saecula.    
O benigna! O Regina! O Maria,
quae sola inviolata permansisti.

Translated Lyrics: 

INVIOLATE, spotless and pure art thou,   
O Mary Who wast made the radiant gate of the King.
Holy mother of Christ most dear,
receive our devout hymn and praise.
Our hearts and tongues now ask of thee
that our souls and bodies may be pure.
By thy sweet sounding prayers
obtain for us forgiveness forever.
O gracious queen, O Mary,
who alone among women art inviolate.
