Full text: 

Da pacem, domine, in diebus nostris quia non est alius qui pugnet pro nobis nisi tu, deus noster.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum, virgo serena.

Ecce ancilla Domini fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.

In honore matris dei.
Et eius memoria
Decantemus omnes ei:
Ave plena gratia.

Amen.

English translation: 

Deliver peace, Lord, in our days, because there is nobody else who fights for us except yourself, our God.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you, serene virgin.

Here is the maid of the Lord: May happen to me according to your word.

In honour of the mother of God and her memory let us sing for her:
Hail full of grace.

Amen.

Correspondences in standard ref works: 

Da ... noster = Antiphon, mostly associated to the votive Suffragium pro pace or to the Feast of the Holy Maccabees, Cantus ID 002090

Ave ... serena = Marian sequence, AH 54, No. 216, pp. 337-340, st. 1-2

Ecce ... tuum = an Annunciation/Advent antiphon with this text exists (Cantus ID 002491), but the simple chant formula included in the tenors of M058 leads to think that the reference is instead to a Marian versicle based on this fundamental Gospel verse; THOMPSON 2005, 353 cites a late-thirtheenth-century text which combines the Ave Maria prayer with other verses from the same Gospel narrative, in a condensed version of Luke 1:28-38:
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui. Spiritus Sanctus superveniet in te; virtus Altissimi obumbrabit tibi. Ecce ancilla Domini; fiat michi secundum verbum tuum. 

In honore ... gratia = Marian sequence, AH 39, No. 70, pp. 67-68, st. 1a-b (from two printed Missals of Cambrai, 1495 and 1507; "Melodie wahrscheinlich: S o s p i t a t i, mit Verdoppelung der Schlußklausel")
