Original text and translations

Latin text

O quam glorifica luce coruscas,
Stirpis Davidicæ regia proles.
Sublimis residens Virgo Maria,
Supra cæligenas ætheris omnes.

Tu, cum virgineo mater honore,
Cælorum Domino pectoris aulam
Sacris visceribus casta parasti;
Natus hinc Deus est corpore Christus.

Quem cunctus venerans orbis adorat,
Cui nunc rite genu flectitur omne;
A quo te petimus subveniente,
Abjectis tenebris, gaudia lucis.

Hoc largire Pater luminis omnis,
Natum per proprium, Flamine Sancto,
Qui tecum nitida vivit in æthra
Regnans ac moderans sæcula cuncta.
Amen.
