+    O gloriósa Dómina,
+    Excélsa super sídera:
+    Qui te creávit, próvide
+    Lactásti sacro úbere.
+
+    Quod Heva tristis ábstulit,
+    Tu reddis almo gérmine:
+    Intrent ut astra flébiles,
+    Cæli fenéstra facta es.
+
+    Tu Regis alti jánua,
+    Et porta lucis fúlgida:
+    Vitam datam per Vírginem,
+    Gentes redémptæ, pláudite.
+
+    Glória tibi Dómine,

+    O glorious lady! throned on high
+    Above the star-illumined sky;
+    Thereto ordained, thy bosom lent
+    To thy Creator nourishment.
+
+    Through thy sweet offspring we receive
+    The bliss once lost through hapless Eve;
+    And heaven to mortals open lies
+    Now thou art portal of the skies.
+
+    Thou art the door of heaven's high King,
+    Light's gateway fair and glistering;
+    Life through a Virgin is restored;
+    Ye ransomed nations, praise the Lord!
+
+    All honour, laud, and glory be,
+    O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee;
+    All glory, as is ever meet,
+    To Father and to Paraclete.
+    Amen.
