Original text and translations

Latin text

Descendit de caelis, missus ab arce Patris,
introivit per aurem virginis
ut regionem nostram indutus stola purpurea
et exivit per clausam portam,
lux et decus universae fabricae mundi.

Tanquam sponsus Dominus procedens de thalamo suo
et exivit per clausam portam lux
et decus universae fabricae mundi.
