Hodie beata Virgo Maria

puerum Jesum praesentavit in templo

et Simenon repletus Spiritu Sancto

accepit eum in ulnas suas

et benedixit Deum in aeternum

English translation

Today the blessed Virgin Mary

presented the boy Jesus in the Temple

and Simeon, full of the Holy Spirit

took him in his arms

and praised the Lord eternally.
