Text and translations
Latin text
Præter rerum seriem
parit deum hominem
virgo mater.
Nec vir tangit virginem
nec prolis originem
novit pater.
Virtus sancti spiritus
opus illud cœlitus
operatur.
Initus et exitus
partus tui penitus
quis scrutatur?
Dei providentia
quæ disponit omnia
tam suave.
Tua puerperia
transfer in mysteria,
mater ave.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
This is no normal scheme of things:
God and man is born of a virgin mother.
She has known no man;
the child's origin is unknown to the father.
By the Holy Spirit's power
this heavenly work has been brought about.
The beginning and end of your giving birth
who can really know?
By God's grace, which orders all things so smoothly,
your childbearing confronts us with a mystery.
Hail, Mother.
German translation
by Euphrosyne
Entgegen den Lauf der Dinge
Gebärt Gott als Menschen die jungfräuliche Mutter.
Weder berührte ein Mann sie,
Noch kennt des Geschlechts Ursprung der Vater.
Durch des heiligen Geistes Tugend
Wurde dies himmlische Werk vollbracht.
Anfang und Ende deiner Niederkunft ganz
Wer durchschaut es?
Gottes Voraussicht, die alles so sacht ordnet,
Trage deine Niederkunft ins Mysterische.
Gesegnet seist du, Mutter.
