Memento, Salutis Auctor.
Author of Grace, sweet Saviour mine,
Remember that thy flesh divine
From the unsullied Virgin came,
In likeness of our mortal frame.
Mother of Love and Mercy mild,
Mother of graces undefiled,
Protect us now from Satan's power,
And take us at life's closing hour.
All glory be to thee, O Lord,
A Virgin's Son, by all adored,
And equal praise for ever greet
The Father and the Paraclete.
