Original text and translations

Latin text

Spes salutis, pacis portus,
vas virtutis, florens hortus,
aromatum area, tu sole matutino rutilantior,
sponsa Dei cara, sponsa mea cara,
veni pulchra, veni:
tu es enim melle dulcior, vita suavior.
Tu es enim decus honestatis,
post decorem deitatis, decor caeli curiae.
Haec est rosa puritatis,
lilium humilitatis,
perducat nos ad caelorum gaudia.
Amen.
