Deus, in adjutorium meum intende.
Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina.

Gloria Patri et Filio [et Spiritui Sancto],
sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper


Memento, salutis Auctor,
quod nostri quondam corporis,
ex illibata Virgine
nascendo, formam sumpseris.
Maria, mater gratiae,
mater misericordiae,
tu nos ab hoste protege,
et hora mortis suscipe.
Gloria tibi, Domine,
qui natus es de Virgine,
[cum Patre et Sancto Spiritu
in sempiterna saecula. Amen.]

O Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, [and to the Holy Ghost:]
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be

Remember, O Creator Lord,
that in the Virgin's sacred womb
Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh
didst our mortality assume.
Mother of grace, O Mary blest,
to thee, sweet fount of love, we fly;
shield us through life, and take us hence
to thy dear bosom when we die.
O Jesu! born of Mary bright!
Immortal glory be to Thee;
praise to the Father infinite,
and Holy Ghost eternally. Amen.
