Latin text

O Rex gloriae, Domine virtutum,
qui triumphator hodie super omnes caelos ascendit,
ne derelinquas nos orphanos:
sed mittepromissum patris in nos, spiritum veritatis.
Alleluia.

English translation

O King of glory, Lord of hosts,
who has today ascended in triumph above the heavens,
leave us not as orphans:
But send us the promise of the father, the spirit of truth,
Alleluia.
