Original text and translations

Latin text Gaude flore virginali Honoreque speciali Transcendens splendiferum Angelorum principatum Et sanctorum decoratum Dignitate numerum. Gaude sponsa cara Dei, Nam ut clara lux diei Solis datur lumine, Sic tu facis orbem vere Tuæ pacis resplendere Lucis plenitudine. Gaude splendens vas virtutum, Cuius pendens est ad nutum Tota cæli curia. Te benignam et felicem Jesu dignam genitricem Veneratur in gloria. Gaude nexu voluntatis Et amplexu caritatis Juncta sis altissimo, Ut ad votum consequaris Quicquid virgo postularis A Jesu dulcissimo. Gaude mater miserorum, Quia pater sæculorum Dabit te colentibus Congruentem hic mercedem Et felicem poli sedem Regnis in cælestibus.
