Permanente vierge / Pulchra es / Sancta Dei genetrix
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  ENG
Permanente vierge, plus digne que nesune,
Femme couverte du soleil de justice,
Chief couronné par divin artifice
De douze estoiles supeditant la lune,

Esmerveillant nature et loy commune,
Tu enfantas par supernel office.
    Permanente vierge, plus digne que nesune,
    Femme couverte du soleil de justice

Preordonnée sans difference aucune,
Du Redempteur fille, mere et nourrice,
Soiez pour nous advocate propice,
Toy supplions, tres belle, clere, brune.

    Permanente vierge, plus digne que nesune,
    Femme couverte du soleil de justice,
    Chief couronné par divin artifice
    De douze estoiles supeditant la lune,

TENOR I:
 Pulchra es et decora, filia Jerusalem: 
 terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata.

TENOR II:
 Sancta Dei genetrix, virgo semper, Maria, 
 mulier amicta sole et luna sub pedibus eius,
 intercede pro nobis ad Dominum Jesum Christum.
