Original text and translations

Latin text

Virga Jesse floruit,
In qua flos apparuit
Altissimi Filius.
Quod lingua prophetica scripsit,
Complevit clementia
Quando vox angelica dixit:
Ave plena gratia.

Jam patet in virgine
Sine viri semine
conceptus,
Surgite qui colitis
Deum, quia cernitis
et natum videbitis
Regem angelorum.
