Alma Redemptoris Mater

Remember how I said that Herman the Cripple also wrote Alma Redemptoris Mater? Here's the text:




Loving mother of the Redeemer,
that passage to heaven,
gate of the morning, and star of the sea,
help your fallen people
as they try to rise up again,
you who bore to the wonderment of nature,
your holy Creator,
Virgin before and after,
who received from Gabriel that joyful greeting,
have mercy on us sinners.
