O Door to heaven, o Star of the sea,
o virgin mother, mother and maid,
hear the voices of the people crying out to thee,
and receive the prayers, offering help to those who implore thee.
O unspoiled Mary, give ear to the supplication of thy faithful.
O Mary, crown of virtue,
O Margaret, prize of this world,
O glory of the angels,
O thou our refuge,
O glorious light of heaven and earth, virgin Mary,
hear the voice…
O terror of demons,
O shining virgin,
O sweet mother,
O beautiful rose,
O highest-born daughter of the King,
hear the voices…
