The full text

Text author: Ave Maria (traditional Latin text).

Ave Maria. Gratia plena. (bis)

Dominus Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus.
Et benedictus !
Benedictus fructus ventris, ventris tui Jesu.

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis, peccatoribus.

Nunc et in hora mortis nostræ,
mortis nostræ. Amen.
