Lyrics:
Original Latin
Viri Galilaei, quid statis aspicientes in coelum? Hic Jesus, qui assumptus est a vobis in coelum, sic veniet, quemadmodum vidistis eum euntem in coelum. Alleluia.
Ascendit Deus in jubilatione, et Dominus in voce tubae. Alleluja. Dominus in coelo paravit sedem suam. Alleluja.
English
Men of Galilee, why do you stand there gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again in the same way that you saw him ascending into heaven. Alleluia!
God is ascended with jubilee, and the Lord with the sound of trumpet. Alleluia. The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven. Alleluia.
