A hymn invoking the five joys of the Virgin Mary. She is the mother of the one and everlasting son of God, as Gabriel foretold, conceiving through the power of the holy spirit. She gave birth to God the creator incarnate, without corruption of the flesh, without pain, remaining both a virgin and a joyful mother. She saw her son, our redeemer, resurrected after his death on the cross. She saw our lord, Jesus Christ, by the power of his divinity, and in true substance of her flesh, ascend to heaven.

Gaude perpetua virgo immaculata.
