O gloriosa Virginum, Sublimis inter sidera, Qui te creavit, parvulum Lactente nutris ubere.

Quod Heva tristis abstulit, Tu reddis almo germine: Intrent ut astra flebiles, Coeli recludis cardines.

Tu regis alti janua, Et aula lucis fulgida: Vitam datam per Virginem, Gentes redemptae plaudite.

Jesu, tibi sit gloria, Qui natus es de Virgine, Cum Patre, et almo Spiritu In sempiterna saecula. Amen.

O Queen of all the Virgin choir, Enthroned above the starry sky; Who with pure milk from thy own breast Thy own Creator didst supply.

What man hath lost in hapless Eve, Thy sacred womb to man restores; Thou to the sorrowing here beneath Hast open’d Heaven’s eternal doors.

Hail, O refulgent Hall of light! Hail, Gate sublime of Heaven’s high King! Through thee redeem’d to endless life, Thy praise let all the nations sing.

O Jesu! born of Virgin bright, Immortal glory be to Thee; Praise to the Father infinite, And Holy Ghost eternally.
