Stella Maris
Moby · Destroyed [2011]
Dei Mater alma
Atque semper virgo
Felix caeli porta
Sumens illud ave
Gabrielis ore
Funda nos in pace
Mutans Evae nomen
Solve vincla reis
Profer lumen caecis
Mala nostra pelle
Bona cuncta posce
Monstra te esse matrem
Sumat per te preces
Qui pro nobis natus
Tulit esse tuus
Virgo singularis
Inter omnes mitis
Nos culpis solutos
Mites fac et castos
Vitam praesta puram
Iter para tutum
Ut videntes Jesum
Semper collaetemur
Sit laus Deo Patri
Summo Christo decus
Spiritui sancto
Tribus honor unus
Amen.
