    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.

    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!
