O Virgo Splendens ("O Splendid Virgin") is a song from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, one of the oldest extant medieval manuscripts containing music.
lyrics
O Virgo splendens hic in monte celso
miraculis serrato fulgentibus ubique.
quem fidelis conscendunt universi.
eya, pietatis occulo placato,
cene ligatos fune peccatorum
ne infernorum ictibus graventur,
sed cum beatis tua prece vecentur
