Latin text 1. Gloria, laus et honor tibi sit, Rex Christe Redemptor. Cui puerile decus prompsit hosanna pium. 2. Israel es tu Rex, Davidis inclyta proles: Nomine in Domini, Rex benedicte, venis. 3. Coetus in excélsis te laudat caélitus omnis, et mortális homo, et cuncta creáta simul. 4. Plebs Hebræa tibi cum palmis obvia venit: Cum prece, voto, hymnis, adsumus ecce tibi. 5. Hi tibi passúro solvébant múnia laudis: nos tibi regnáti pángimus ecce melos. 6. Hi placuére tibi, pláceat devótio nostra: Rex pie, Rex clemens, cui bona cuncta placent.
