Latin text
Lauda vivi Alpha et O filia supernissima,
Vivique verbi mater splendidissima,
Vivique flaminis sponsa immaculatissima,
Vivique trinitatis et unitatis ancilla exaltatissima.
Lauda fortis spirantis filia devotissima,
Fortisque conspirantis mater mansuetissima,
Fortisque conspirantis sponsa praemundissima,
Fortisque concordis voluntatis ancilla glorificatissima.
Lauda immortalis productoris filia sacratissima
immortalisque producti mater complacentissima,
immortalis procedentis sponsa inviolatissima,
immortalis celsique tonantis ancilla praefulgidissima.
Lauda admirabilis gignentis filia innocentissima
Admirabilis fecundantis mater mellifluissima
Admirabilis obumbrantis sponsa intemeratissima
Admirabilis et trine potestatis ancilla incomparabilissima.
Lauda perennis retributoris filia praeamantissima,
Perennis restitutoris mater illuminatissima,
Perennisque infusoris sponsa iocundatissima
Perennis uniusque essentiae ancilla praelaudatissima.
O rosa gratiae redolentissima,
O virga Jesse efflorentissima,
Jesum, praedulcem natum pro rege nostro ora
Henrico octavo inclito;
ac implora optanda illi semper dari gaudia
nunc et tandem immarcessibilem gloriam;
nosque tuos pios famulos adiuta/salvifica.
O precatrix et adiutrix benedicta,
O Dei para, O Dei gena,
O Virgo Maria,
Amen.
