O Heaven's glorious mistress, elevated above the stars, thou feedest with thy sacred breast him who created thee.
What miserable Eve lost thy dear offspring to man restors, the way to glory is open to the wretched for thou has become the Gate of Heaven.
Thou art the door of the High King, the gate of shining light. Life is given through a Virgin: Rejoice, ye redeemed nations.
Glory be to Thee, O Lord, Born of a Virgin, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, world without end. Amen.
