Latin text

Genuit puerpera Regem,
cui nomen aeternum,
et gaudium matris habens
cum virginitate pudoris:
nec primam similem visa est,
nec habere sequentem.
Alleluja.

English translation

The Mother brought forth the King,
Whose name is called The Eternal;
the joy of a Mother was hers,
remaining a Virgin unsullied;
neither before nor henceforth
hath there been or shall be such another.
Alleluia.
