Gaudeamus omnes in Domino, diem festum celebrantes
sub honore Beatae Mariae Virginis, de cujus assumptione
gaudent angeli et collaudant Filium Dei.
Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum; dico ego opera mea Regi.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto:
sicut erat in principio et nunc, et semper,
et in saecula saecularum. Amen.

Let us rejoice in the Lord,
celebrating a feast-day in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
at whose assumption the angels rejoice and praise the Son of God.
My heart hath uttered a good word: I tell my works to the king.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
