Omnes
fideles plaudite,
Et
Virginis infantiam
Devoto
corde colite
Mirantes
eius gratiam.
Nam
in puella tenera
Vernat
sensus maturitas,
Et
panditur per opera
Habitans
intus Deitas.
Docta,
matura, strenua,
Et
honore spectabilis:
Virtute
scandens ardua
Cunctis
præstans et humilis.
Sic
Conditoris munere
Miris
ornata dotibus,
Ut
digna foret parere
Deum
castis visceribus.
Gloria
tibi, Domine,
Qui
natus es de Virgine:
Idem
manens in numine
Patri
cum Sancto Flamine. Amen.
Applaud, astonished at her grace, all you faithful, and celebrate with a devoted
heart the infancy of the Virgin. For in
a girl of tender age there grew a mature understanding, and God dwelling within
her was revealed in her deeds. Learned, mature, strong and worthy of special
honor was she: climbing the hard heights
of virtue, yet peerless in all humility.
Thus by the gift of the Creator, endowed with a wondrous dowry, that she
be worthy to give birth to God from her chaste womb. Glory
to thee, O Lord, who was born of the Virgin, with the Father and Holy Spirit, in
eternal ages. Amen.
