Ave, generosa
Ave, generosa
Gloriosa
Et intacta puella
Tu, pupilla castitati
Tu, materia sanctitatis
Que Deo placuit
Nam hec superna infusio
In te fuit
Quod supernum verbum
In te carnem induit
Tu, candidum lilium
Quod Deus ante omnem creaturam
Inspexit
O pulcherrima
Et dulcissima
Quam valde Deus in te delectabatur
Cum amplexione caloris sui
In te posuit ita quod filius eius
De te lactatus est
Venter enim tuus
Gaudium habuit
Cum omnis celestis symphonia
De te sonuit
Quia, virgo, filium Dei portasti
Ubi castitas tua in Deo claruit
Viscera tua gaudium habuerunt
Sicut gramen super quod ros cadit
Cum ei viriditatem infudit
Ut et in te factum est
O mater omnis gaudii
Nunc omnis Ecclesia
In gaudio rutilet
Ac in symphonia sonet
Propter dulcissimam virginem
Et laudabilem Mariam
Dei genitricem. Amen
Hail, girl of a noble house
Shimmering
And unpolluted
You, pupil in the eye of chastity
You, essence of sanctity
Which was pleasing to God
For the Heavenly potion
Was poured into you
In that the Heavenly word
Received a raiment of flesh in you
You are the lily that dazzles
Whom God knew
Before all others
O most beautiful
And delectable one
How greatly God delighted in you
In the clasp of His fire
He implanted in you so that His Son
Might be suckled by you
Thus your womb
Held joy
When the Heavenly harmony
Chimed out from you
Because, o virgin, you bore the Son of God
Whence your chastity blazed in God
Your womb knew delight
Like the grassland touched by dew
And drenched in its freshness
So it was done in you,
O mother of all joy
Now let all Ecclesia glimmer
With the dawn of joy
And let it resound in music
For the sweetest virgin
Mary compelling all praise
Mother of God. Amen
