Gaude Sion quod egressus
A te decor et depressus
Tui nitor speculi.

Rediviva luce redit:
O et alpha quod accedit
Jam in fine sæculi.

Poma prima primitivos
Deus sanctos adhuc vivos
Suo visit lumine./Vidit in cacumine

Ut extremos addat primis
Quamvis stantes nos in imis
Suo visit lumine.

Sed præ multis te respexit;
Odor tuus hunc allexit
Et saporis puritas.

Tu de regum ramis nata
Juste vere sis vocata
Tu Dei saturitas.

Gaudent astra matutina
Qud in hora vespertina
ortu novi syderis,

Coeli sydus illustratur;
in quo terræ designatur
Novi signum foederis.

Vere sydus tu præclarum
Quod a sole differt parum
Et luna lucidius.

Tu quod sole sis amicta
Carne probat hic relicta
Lucis tuæ radius.

O quam dignis luce signis!
Vasa* rapis a malignis
Possessa dæmoniis.

Lepre(os) mundas labe tactos
Claudos ponis et at(con)tractos
in pedum officiis.

Quod negatum est naturæ
Tu virtutis agis jure
Et potes ex gratia.

Vita functos tu reducis,
Cæcis reddis membra lucis,
Et membrorum spatia.

Eia mater, nos agnosce,
Libro vitæ nos deposce
Cum electis inseri.

Ut consortes tuæ sortis,
Et a poenis et a portis
Eruamur inferi.

Amen.
