Latin lyrics	English lyrics
Ave Crux alba, summae pietatis signum, Ave Crux alba, salutis nostra sola spes, Corda fidelium inflamma, adauge gratiam, adauge gratiam. Ut omnia vincat tuorum ardens caritas, Ut omnia vincat tuorum ardens caritas.	Hail, thou White Cross, the highest sign of piety, Hail, thou White Cross, our only source of health and hope, Inflame the hearts of the faithful with abundant graces, abundant graces. With your ardent charity, all things shall be overcome, With your ardent charity, all things shall be overcome.
