Original text and translations

Latin text

Lux benedicta redit benedicto sacra beato
  Dedita cujus erat vitaque morsque Deo
Gous benedicte fave Christi reverende sacerdos
  Patronumque tuum voce animoque sona
Caesarei vox cardo chori tu cardo tuorum
  Cardinis hoc merito nomen habere potest
Quid praeter ut benedictus ab omni cardine caeli
  Sis opere et dicto nomen et omen habe
