Quem terra, pontus, æthera
colunt, adorant, prædicant,
trinam regentem machinam
claustrum Mariæ baiulat.

Cui Luna, Sol, et omnia
deserviunt per tempora,
perfusa cæli gratia,
gestant Puellæ viscera.

Beata Mater, munere,
cuius supernus Artifex,
mundum pugillo continens,
ventris sub arca clausus est.

Beata cæli nuntio,
fecunda Sancto Spiritu,
desideratus Gentibus,
cuius per alvum fusus est.

Iesu, Tibi sit gloria,
qui natus es de Virgine,
cum Patre, et almo Spiritu,
in sempiterna sæcula.
Amen.
