A traditional hymn sung to Mary asking for her protection.

We fly to Thy protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our petitions in our necessities,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.


Sancta Dei Genetrix ;
nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus
sed a periculis cunctis libera nos semper,
Virgo gloriosa et benedicta.
