Text and translations

Latin text Conceptio tua, Dei genitrix virgo, gaudium annuntiavit in universo mundo: Ex te enim ortus est sol justitiae, Christus Deus noster: Qui solvens maladictionem, dedit benedictionem; et confundens mortem, donavit vitam sempiternam.

English translation Your conception, Virgin mother of God, announced joy to the whole world: For out of thee arose the Sun of justice, Christ our God: Who, by paying for evil, gave blessing; and confounding death, gave life everlasting.
