Latin text

O virgo simul et mater lux maxima mundi
  quae summo caeli vertice laeta sedes
victa meis tandem lacrimis huc lumina flecte
  lumina splendidius quae mihi sole nitent
aspice ut insanis jam jam miser obruar undis
  ni tua det faciles aura beata vias
affer opem praecor o nostrae spes certa salutis
  ipsa salus hominum de gremio orta tuo.
