"Gaude virgo is the only large-scale votive antiphon by Sheppard to survive in more than a fragmentary state. Even this has not survived unscathed. All the necessary voice parts survive for the reduced-voice sections, but the full choir sections lack the Treble part. It is unfortunate that it is such a prominent voice part that is incomplete, but the quality of the work justifies an attempt at completion. {{UnfinishedWork"

Gaude Virgo Christipara quam adumbrans lux divina selegit ex virginibus. Sola ut esses singulari quam contigit decorari partu imbuta caelibus. Ex te semen hoc divinum cujus caput serpentinum est contritum viribus. Christum dico designatum sed pro nobis incarnatum ex tuis visceribus. Ergo Sathan, mors, peccatum hinc videtis procretum ut vestra habens capita. Laus sit Patri et majestas tibi Christi rex potestas, qui consopisti omnia. Amen.
