Hymnus
O prima, Virgo, pródita
E Conditóris spíritu,
Prædestináta Altíssimi
Gestáre in alvo Fílium;
Tu perpes hostis fémina
Prænuntiáta dǽmonis,
Oppléris una grátia
Intamináta orígine.
Tu ventre Vitam cóncipis,
Vitámque ab Adam pérditam,
Diæ litándæ Víctimæ
Carnem minístrans, íntegras.
Merces piáclo débita
Devícta mors te déserit,
Almíque consors Fílii
Ad astra ferris córpore.
Tanta corúscans glória,
Natúra cuncta extóllitur,
In te vocáta vérticem
Decóris omnis tángere.
Ad nos, triúmphans, éxsules,
Regína, verte lúmina,
Cæli ut beátam pátriam,
Te, consequámur áuspice.
Jesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

Hymn
O Virgin, first brought forth
From the Creator’s mind,
Predestined to bear within thy womb
The Son of the Most High;
O thou in whom rich grace abounds,
Foretold thou wast to be the foe
Who in her origin confounds
The wicked demon here below.
Within thy womb anew Life's made,
The very life by Adam lost
Has been renewed by thee, sweet maid,
Who didst provide the holocaust.
Death, the penalty owed to sin,
Is conquered and leaves thee;
Sharing with thy loving Son,
Thou art borne bodily to heaven.
In thy great glory burning bright
Exalted nature sings the praise,
And unto beauty's very height,
Dost honor and all glory raise.
Triumphant Queen to Heaven borne,
Upon us exiles turn thy sight,
That to the ever-blessed morn
We may be guided by thy light.
All honor, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-born to thee;
All glory, as is ever meet
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.
℣ The holy Mother of God has been exalted
℟ Above the choirs of Angels to the heavenly kingdom.
