Text and translations

Latin text Magnus sanctus Paulus, vas electionis, vere digne est glorificandus, qui et thronum duodecimum meruit possidere. Vas electionis, intercede pro nobis ad Deum, qui te elegit, ut digni efficiamur gratia Dei.

English translation The great Saint Paul, the vessel of election, is indeed worthy to be glorified; who also deserved to possess the twelfth throne. Vessel of election, intercede for us to God, who chose thee, so that we may worthily give thanks to God.
