Latin text

1. Roráte caéli désuper,
plúantque núbes Príncipem:
aperiátur iám térra
Salvatorémque gérminet.

2. Qui cúncta cúmples Númine,
nóstros te in ártus cólligis:
ut nos redúcas ad Déum,
descéndis in térram, Déus.

3. Vérbum quod ánte saécula
sinu paterno násceris,
récens hómo sub témpore
et Vírgine pródis sínu.
