Lyrics

Latin

Ave Crux alba, summae pietatis signum,
Ave Crux alba, salutis nostrae sola spes,
Corda fidelium inflamma, adauge gratiam, adauge gratiam.
Ut omnia vincat tuorum ardens caritas,
Ut omnia vincat tuorum ardens caritas.

Italian

Ti saluto, Croce Bianca, il più alto segno di pietà,
Salve, Croce Bianca, nostra unica fonte di salute e speranza,
Infiammate i cuori dei fedeli con abbondanti grazie, abbondanti grazie.
Con la tua ardente carità, tutto sarà vinto,
Con la tua ardente carità, tutte le cose saranno vinte.

English

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.[1]
