Text and translations

Latin text Gaudent in coelis animae Sanctorum, qui Christi vestigia sunt secuti: et quia pro ejus amore sanguinem suum fuderunt, ideo cum Christo exsultant sine fine. Ocassionally added: [Sancti Dei omnes, orate pro nobis. Alleluia.] Hungarian translation A mennyekben örvendeznek a szentek lelkei, akik Krisztus nyomát követték, és mivel az érette való szeretet miatt vérüket ontották, ezért vég nélkül Krisztussal ujjonganak. Isten minden szentjei, imádkozzatok érettünk.

English translation The souls of the saints rejoice in heaven, they who have followed in the footsteps of Christ; and because they shed their blood for love of Him, therefore they rejoice with Christ without end. All you saints of God, pray for us. Alleluia. German translation Die Seelen der Heiligen freuen sich im Himmel, die den Spuren Christi gefolgt sind, und weil sie für seine Liebe ihr Blut vergossen haben, deshalb jubeln sie mit Christus ohne Ende.
