Coelos ascendit

Coelos ascendit hodie Jesus Christus Rex gloriae,
Alleluia!
Gubernat coelum et sedet ad Patris dexteram,
Alleluia!
Jam finem habent omnia Patris Davidis carmina,
Alleluia!
Jam Dominus cum Domino sedet in Dei solio,
In hoc triumpho maximo,
Alleluia!
Benedicamus Domino, laudatur Sancta Trinitas,
Deo dicamus gratias,
Alleluia! Amen.
