Latin text
Alleluia cantemus
Iubilemus dicentes in æternum
O quam magnum diem
O quam magnificum diem
O quam venerandum diem
Celebramus hodie
In quo exultat omnis terra
Sine fine dicens
Alleluia cantemus
Iubilemus dicentes in æternum
Quisnam est iste sonus
& quænam sunt hæ voces
Quæ rapiunt corda hominum
& animas liquescere faciunt
Certe cœlestes cives
In terra descenderunt canere
Hodie aperti sunt cœli
& Paradisi portæ petefactæ sunt
Quia B(eati). N(omen). Cœlum ingreditur
Alleluia cantemus
Iubilemus dicentes in æternum
Alleluia
