If you want to master the Marian antiphon for this season, you can listen to it HERE sung by the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey at Ganagobie.
The following is a beautiful translation from the Latin by Father Adrian Fortescue (1874-1923) of the Alma Redemptoris Mater:
Holy
mother of our Redeemer, thou gate leading to heaven and star of the
sea;
Help the falling people who seek to rise,
Thou who, all nature wondering, didst give birth to thy holy Creator.
Thou who, all nature wondering, didst give birth to thy holy Creator.
Virgin always, hearing
the greeting from Gabriel’s lips, take pity on sinners.
