Angelus ad virginem (Anonymous, set by J. Rutter) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Angelus ad virginem Subintrans in conclave,
Virginis formidinem Demulcens inquit
« Ave! Ave, regina virginum;
Caeli terraeque Dominum Concipies
Et paries Intacta Salutem hominum;
Tu porta caeli facta, Medela criminum. »
 
Th'angel to the Virgin said, Ent'ring into her bower,
For dread of quaking of this maid,
He said "Hail" with great honoure.
"Hail!" be thou queen of maidens mo,
Lord of heaven and earth also,
Conceive thou shalt,
And bear with al the Lord of might,
Heal of all mankind.
He will make the gate of heaven bright,
Med'çine of all our sin."
 
"Quo modo conciperem Qyae virum non cognovi?
Qualiter infringerem
Quod firmamente vovi?"
Spiritus Sancti gratia
Perficiet haec omnia;
Netimeas, Sed gaudeas, se curea Quod castimonia
Manebit in te pura, Dei potentia."
