Latin text Veni, sponsa Christi, accipe coronam quam tibi Dominus praeparavit, pro cuius amore sanguinem tuum fudisti et cum Angelis in paradisum introisti. Specie tua et pulchritudine tua intende prospere procede, et regna, quia concupivit rex speciem tuam.

German translation Komm, du Braut Christi, empfange die Krone, die dir der Herr bereitet hat, für dessen Liebe du dein Blut vergossen hast und mit den Engeln ins Paradies eingingst. In deiner Anmut und deiner Schönheit beginne, handle glücklich und herrsche, denn der König verlangt nach deiner Schönheit.

English translation Come, bride of Christ, receive the crown which the Lord has prepared for you, for whose love you have shed your blood, And entered into Paradise among the angels. With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign. So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty
