    I’m looking for the full Latin text, not the hymn tune, which I have. Thanks in advance.

    There's a very imperfect scan of Analecta hymnica mediiaevi" at

    https://archive.org/stream/analectahymnicam01drev/analectahymnicam01drev_djvu.txt

    where I found this:

    1. Gaudeamus pariter
    Omnes et singuli,
    De virgine nascitur
    Salvator saeculi.

    proles eximia
    De stirpe regia,
    Alvo Christum tulisti,
    virgo Maria.

    stupenda natio,
    Quam nuUa ratio
    Potuit definire
    Nee enodatio.

    4. Physicus concutitur
    Horrore nimio,
    Dum fallit in Mariae
    Natura filio.

    5. Logicus syllogizando
    Hie obstupescit,
    Dum praemissas formando
    Concludere nescit.

    6. Intellectus discurrendo
    Hie confunditur,
    Dum causa rei quaeritur
    Hie et non solvitur.

    7. Miratur et ratio,
    Qualis Sit natio,
    Et a cunctis varia
    Fit indagatio.

    8. natura, qualiter
    Errasti hodie,
    De virgine nascitur
    Filius Mariae.

    9. Omnia qui potuit
    Ex nihilo creare,
    Naturam in filio
    Yoluit claudicare.

    10. Misit enim filium
    In hoc exilium,
    Per quem et restauravit
    Salutem hominum.

    11. Ergo cuncti hodie,
    Omnes et singuli
    Landes demus filio
    Et matri virgini.

    Analecta Hymnica Medii Aevi is where I found it, too.

    A more readable option Analecta Hymnica Medii Aevi Vol. I. pg. 110. Ave Maris Stella? At least one book on Hymns tell us that it is a unique meter.
