Original text and translations

Latin text

Fit porta Christi pervia
  referta plena gratia
  transitque rex et permanet
  clausa ut fuit per saecula.

  Genus superni luminis
  processit aula virginis
  sponsus redemptor conditor
  suae gigas aecclesiae

  Honor matris et gaudium
  immensa spes credentium
  per atra mortis pocula
  resolvit nostra crimina

  Gloria tibi Domine
  Qui natus es de virgine
  Cum Patre et sancto spiritu
  In sempiterna secula.
