O Rex gloriae, Domine virtutum, qui triumphator hodie super omnes caelos ascendisti,
ne derelinquas nos orphanos, sed mitte promissum Patris in nos, Spiritum veritatis.
Alleluja.

King of glory, Lord of strength, who ascended to heaven on this day triumphant over all,
do not leave us as orphans but send us the promised spirit of truth of the Father.
Alleluja.
