Latin text

Quod chorus vatum venerandus olim:
Spiritu Sancto cecinit repletus
in Dei factum genitrice constat
esse Maria.

Haec Deum cæli Dominumque terræ
virgo concepit peperitque virgo,
atque post partum meruit manere
inviolata.

Quem senex justus Simeon in ulnis
in domo sumpsit Domini, gavisus
hoc quod optatum proprio videret
lumine Christi.

Tu libens votis, petimus, precantes,
Regis æterni genetrix, faveto,
clara quæ celsi renitens Olimpi
regna petisti.

Sit Deo nostro decus et potestas:
sit laus perpes, sit honor perennis:
qui summa cæli residens in arce,
trinus et unus.
Amen.
