English translation:
Behold, mother of the highest God, Jesus Christ the Nazarene, we culpable cry out to you.
Your son has risen, o sweetest virgin of virgins, no longer will he perish.
Make the one we praise as our Lord be favorable to us.

Further notes:
Although ANNALI 1885 list this motet after the other three motets of cycle C07 among Gaffurius' works, it is excluded from AMMM 05 and it is often considered anonymous in the literature.
GASSER 2001, 384, was the first to include this motet in cycle C07.
