Exultent caeli et gaudeant angeli, jubilent omnes,
jubilent hodie canentes populi in organo laetitiae,
in citharis et choris.
Nam hodie concepta es Beata Virgo Maria
per quam salus mundi credentibus apparuit.
O Maria mater gratiae, mater misericordiae.
Sola fuisti digna portare talentum mundi.
Nam hodie Angelus Domini nunciavit Mariae
et concepit de Spiritu Sancto
elegit eam Deus et preelegit eam,
in tabernaculo Suo habitare facit eam.

For today is conceived of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
the one through whom the salvation of the world appeared to believers.
O Maria, Mother of Grace, Mother of Mercy,
you alone are worthy to bear the treasure of the world.
For today the angel of the Lord announced to Mary
and conceived by the Holy Spirit,
chosen by God, and fore-ordained,
in his house he made her to dwell.
