Original text and translations

Latin text Viri Galilaei, quid admiramini aspicientes in caelum? Alleluia. Quemadmodum vidistis eum ascendentem in caelum, ita veniet, Alleluia. Psalm 46:1 Omnes gentes plaudite manibus: jubilate Deo in voce exultationis.

English translation Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking into heaven? Alleluia. He shall so come as you have seen him going into heaven. Alleluia. Psalm 46:1 All ye Nations clap hands: make jubilation to God in the voice of exultation.
