Gaude Virgo Mater Christi Quae per aurem concepisti Gabriele nuntio. Gaude quia Deo plena Peperisti sine poena Cum pudoris lilio. Gaude quia tui nati Quem dolebat mortem pati Fulgeret resurrectio. Gaude Christo ascendente Et in coelum te vidente Motu fertur proprio. Gaude quae post ipsum scandis Et est honor tibi grandis In coeli palatio Ubi fructus ventris tui Per te detur nobis frui In perenni gaudio. Alleluia.

Rejoice, virgin mother of Christ, Who conceived through your ear At Gabriel's announcing. Rejoice because, filled with God, You gave birth without pain With the lily of modesty. Rejoice because the resurrection Of your son will be glorious, He whom you grieved as he suffered death. Rejoice in Christ ascending, And that he is carried by his own action To heaven, with you watching. Rejoice, you who ascend after him, For you there is great honour In the palace of heaven. There [we pray that] the fruit of your womb May be given us, through you, to enjoy In eternal praise. Alleluia.
