Lyrics:

Diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis:
propterea benedixit te Deus in aeternum.
Myrrha, et gutta, et cassia a vestimentis tuis,
a domibus eburneis, ex quibus te delectaverunt
filiae regum in honore tuo.

English translation:
Full of grace are your lips,
because God has blessed you forever.
All your garments smell of myrrh, aloes and cassia
out of ivory palaces, whereby they have made you glad.
Kings’daughters are among your honorable women.
