Lyrics: 

Viri Galilaei, quid admiramini auspicentes in coelum? alleluia: quemadmodum vidistis eum ascendentem in coelum, ita veniet, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Omnes gentes, plaudite manibus: jubilate Deo in voce exsultationis. V. Gloria Patri . .

Translated Lyrics: 

Ye men of Galilee, why wonder you, looking up to heaven? alleluia. He shall so come as you have seen Him going up into heaven, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. (Ps. 44. 2). O clap your hands, all ye nations; shout unto God, with the voice of exultation. V. Glory to the Father . . .
