Luca Marenzio: O rex gloriae

O rex gloriae, Domine virtutum,
qui triumphator hodie super omnes caelos ascendisti:
ne derelinquas nos orphanos, sed mitte promissum Patris in nos,
Spiritum veritatis.  Alleluia.                         
   
O King of Glory, Lord of Hosts,
who ascended this day in triumph above all the heavens:
do not leave us orphans, but send us the Promise of the Father,
the Spirit of Truth.  Alleluia.
