O faelix o fausta dies o vere dies laetitiae
Laeti hodie gaudeant angeli et coeli spiritus exultent
Triumphum canite coelites victori
Jesu Christo et universus terrarum plaudat orbis alleluja

by William Fazekas
O happy, O fortunate day! O truly a day of joy!
Today the joyful angels rejoice and the spirits of heaven jump in glee.
Heavenly Ones, sound the triumph to Jesus Christ victorious
And let all the nations of the Earth clap their hands, Alleluia.
