Original text and translations

Latin text

Gaudete omnes, et laetamini,
quia ecce, desideratus advenit.
Introite in conspectu eius
in exultatione.
Scitote quoniam ipse est
expectatio nostra.
Alleluia!

English text

Rejoice, all of you, and be glad,
For behold he for whom you have longed comes.
Enter into his presence with singing
Know that he is our hope.
Alleluia.
