Original text and translations

Latin text

Fit porta Christi pervia
referta plena gratia,
transitque rex, et permanet
clausa, ut fuit per sæcula.

Genus super in luminis
processit aula Virginis,
sponsus, redemptor, conditor
suae gigas Ecclesiae:

Honor matris et gaudium,
immensa spes credentium,
per atra mortis pocula
resolvit nostra crimina.

Deo Patris sit gloria...
