Cuncti simus concanentes by Anonymous — Lyrics
Cuncti simus concanéntes: Ave Maria. (bis)
Virgo sola existénte en affuit Angelus,
Gabriel est appellátus atque missus caélitus
Clara faciéque dixit: Ave Maria. (bis)
Clara faciéque dixit: audíte caríssimi.
Clara faciéque dixit: audíte caríssimi.
En concípies Maria, Ave Maria. (bis)
