Translation:
A shining golden light is made in the mighty heavens,
and from this light comes glory;
mother of the highest king, Mary,
in whose eternal life
all rejoice,
assist us with Thy pious prayer
and have mercy on Thy servants.

O Thou marvelous adornment and glory of the world,
surpassing the beauty of the flowering lilies
in brilliance of whiteness,
ruler of the world and queen of heaven,
cancel our crimes by praying sweetly
and with wondrous passion to Thy son,
for he has suffered cruel wounds; have mercy on us.

Life’s limitless remedy, turn back the ruinations of the sick,
Thou true hope, lest the devil’s cunning overwhelm them
with some trickery;
give to them the fields of life, Mary,
Thou, who, untouched, hast borne the ruler,
hasten to dispense Thy aid to Thy servants
and have mercy on us.
