Latin text
Viri Galilei, quid admiramini auspicientes in coelum? alleluia:
quem admodum vidistis eum ascendentem in coelum, ita veniet, alleluia.
Omnes gentes, plaudite manibus;
jubilate Deo in voce exsultationis.

Ye men of Galilee, why wonder you, looking up to heaven?
Alleluia.
He shall so come as you have seen Him going up into heaven,
Alleluia.
O clap your hands, all ye nations; shout unto God, with the voice of exultation.
