chant: Viri Galilaei

Viri Galilaei, quid admiramini aspicientes in caelum? alleluia:
quemadmodum vidistis eum ascendentem in caelum,
ita veniet, alleluia, alleuia, alleluia.

Men of Galilee, why are you gazing in astonishment at the sky? alleluia;
just as you have seen him ascend into heaven,
so, in like manner, shall he return, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
