Adorn your bridal chamber, O Zion,
and receive Christ the King;
embrace Mary,
the gate of heaven;
for she bears the glorious King of new light;
the Virgin stands and carries the Son in her hands before the morning star;
Simeon receives him in his arms
and proclaims that he is Lord of life and death, and the Savior of this world.
