Original text and translations

{{Text|Latin| O Christe Jesu, pastor bone, Mediator et patrone, Mundi nobis in agone, Confer opem et depone Vitae sordes et coronae Celestis da gloriam.

Et Elizabetham nostram Angliae reginae serva Et ecclesiam piorum Tueare custos horum, Et utrisque concedatur Eternae vitae premium.

English.png English translation

O Jesus Christ, good shepherd,
Mediator and patron,
To us in the trials of the world
Grant help and remove
Life’s baseness, and give us
The joy of a heavenly crown.

Save our Elizabeth, Queen of England,
And watch over the Church
O protector of these the devout;
And allow both
The reward of eternal life.

(Adapted from the translation of a related text, that of Taverner's O Wilhelme pastor bone, given on the website MusicTeachers.co.uk)
