Latin text
Tollite portas, principes, vestras, et elevamini portae aeternales, et introibit Rex gloriae.
Quis ascendet in montem Domini, aut quis stabit in loco sancto ejus? Innocens manibus et mundo corde. Alleluia.
English translation
Lift up your gates, O ye princes; and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of glory shall enter in.
Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord, or who shall stand in His holy place? The innocent in hands and clean of heart.
Alleluia.
