English text
- 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.
