Salve sancta parens a 5, T. 61 (Gradualia, 1605)

Salve sancta parens, enixa puerpera regem:

qui caelum terramque regit in saecula saeculorum.

Alleluia.

Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum:

dico ego opera mea regi.

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.

Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper

et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Introit at Lady Mass in Eastertide; Introit at Mass for the Nativity of the Virgin

Translation:

Hail, holy parent, who brought forth the king:

who rules the heaven and the earth for ever and ever.

Alleluia.

My heart overflows with a good word:

I dedicate my works to the king.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end. Amen.
