    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, Qui natus es de Vírgine, Cum Patre et Sancto Spíritu, In sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

    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.
