Text & English Translation
O gloriosa domina, excelsa super sidera.
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu in mulieribus.
O gloriosa domina, excelsa super sidera.
Ne timeas Maria, invenisti gratiam apud Dominum;
ecce concipies et paries filium.
O gloriosa domina, excelsa super sidera.
Dabit ei Dominus sedem David patris eius,
et regnabit in æternum.
O gloriosa domina, excelsa super sidera.
O glorious lady, exalted over the stars.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you,
blessed art thou among women.
O glorious lady, exalted over the stars.
Do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with the Lord; behold, you shall conceive and bear a son.
O glorious lady, exalted over the stars.
The Lord will give Him the throne of David his ancestor, and He shall reign for all eternity.
O glorious lady, exalted over the stars.
