Let us rejoice in the Lord,
celebrating a feast-day in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
at whose assumption the angels rejoice and praise the Son of God.
My heart hath uttered a good word: I tell my works to the king.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
