Latin text

O florens rosa
Mater Domini speciosa
o virgo mitis
o fecundissima vitis clarior aurora
pro nobis iugiter ora
ut simus digni postrema luce beati.

English translation

O flowering rose,
beautiful mother of the Lord,
O gentle virgin,
O most fruitful vine, brighter than the dawn,
pray continually for us,
so that on the last day we may be worthy to be blessed.
