Præter rerum seriem<br>
parit deum hominem<br>
virgo mater.<br>
Nec vir tangit virginem<br>
nec prolis originem<br>
novit pater.
 
Virtus sancti spiritus<br>
opus illud cœlitus<br>
operatur.<br>
Initus et exitus<br>
partus tui penitus<br>
quis scrutatur?
 
Dei providentia<br>
quæ disponit omnia<br>
tam suave.<br>
Tua puerperia<br>
transfer in mysteria,<br>
mater ave.
 
{{Translation|English}}
''by [[User:Mick Swithinbank|Mick Swithinbank]]''
 
This is no normal scheme of things:<br>
God and man is born of a virgin mother.<br>
She has known no man;<br>
the child's origin is unknown to the father.
 
By the Holy Spirit's power<br>
this heavenly work has been brought about.<br>
The beginning and end of your giving birth<br>
who can really know?
 
By God's grace, which orders all things so smoothly,<br>
your childbearing confronts us with a mystery.<br>
Hail, Mother.

German.png German translation by Euphrosyne

Entgegen den Lauf der Dinge
Gebärt Gott als Menschen die jungfräuliche Mutter.
Weder berührte ein Mann sie,
Noch kennt des Geschlechts Ursprung der Vater.

Durch des heiligen Geistes Tugend
Wurde dies himmlische Werk vollbracht.
Anfang und Ende deiner Niederkunft ganz
Wer durchschaut es?

Gottes Voraussicht, die alles so sacht ordnet,
Trage deine Niederkunft ins Mysterische.
Gesegnet seist du, Mutter.
