Original text and translations

Latin text

Caelestis sponsa excelsi Regis
jam gloriosum thalamum ingressa,
Virgo Catharina intercede pro nobis.

Piae virgines dilectae
patronae huic nostrae inclyte
canticum dulce solis virginibus decantandum
laetantes invicem canamus.

Flos candoris tui rubet
trucidari dum te jubet
Pudicitiae tirannus.

Virgo Catharina intercede pro nobis.
