Original text and translations
Latin text
- O gloriosa Domina
- excelsa super sidera,
- qui te creavit provide,
- lactasti sacro ubere.
- Quod Eva tristis abstulit,
- tu reddis almo germine;
- intrent ut astra flebiles,
- Caeli fenestra facta es.
- Tu regis alti janua
- et porta lucis fulgida;
- vitam datam per Virginem,
- gentes redemptae, plaudite.
- Gloria tibi, Domine,
- qui natus es de Virgine,
- cum Patre et Sancto Spiritu
- in sempiterna secula. Amen.
English translation
- O Heaven's glorious mistress,
- elevated above the stars,
- thou feedest with thy sacred breast
- him who created thee.
- What miserable Eve lost
- thy dear offspring to man restors,
- the way to glory is open to the wretched
- for thou has become the Gate of Heaven.
- Thou art the door of the High King,
- the gate of shining light.
- Life is given through a Virgin:
- Rejoice, ye redeemed nations.
- Glory be to Thee, O Lord,
- Born of a Virgin,
- with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
- world without end. Amen.
