lyrics

O gloriosa virginum,
Sublimis inter sidera,
Qui te creavit parvulum
Lacténte nutris ùbere.

Quod Eva tristis àbstulit
Tu reddis almo gérmine
Intrent ut astra flébiles
Caeli recludis càrdines

Tu regis alti jànua,
Et aula lucis fùlgida
Vitam datam per Vìrginem
Gentes redémptae plàudite

Jesu, tibi sit gloria,
Qui natus es de Virgine,
Cum Patre et almo Spiritu
In sempitérna saecula. Amen.

1 O Queen of all the Virgin choir,
Enthroned above the starry sky;
Who with pure milk from thy own breast
Thy own Creator didst supply.

2 What man hath lost in hapless Eve,
Thy sacred womb to man restores;
Thou to the sorrowing here beneath
Hast open’d Heaven’s eternal doors.

3 Hail, O refulgent Hall of light!
Hail, Gate sublime of Heaven’s high King!
Through thee redeem’d to endless life,
Thy praise let all the nations sing.

4 O Jesu! born of Virgin bright,
Immortal glory be to Thee;
Praise to the Father infinite,
And Holy Ghost eternally. So be it.
