Obaudite me divini fructus
dicebat­beatus­Ignatius sociis suis
et quasi rosa plantata super rivos aquarum fructificate
quasi Libanus odorem suavitatis habete
florete flores quasi lilium et date odorem et frondete in gratiam
et date odorem et collauda te canticum
et benedicite Dominum in operibus suis
Alleluia.

Date nomini eius magnificentiam
et confitemini illi in voce labiorum vestrorum laiorum vestrorum
et in canticis et citharis
Unanimes clamate opera Domini universa bona valde
Alleluia.

King James version
Hear me, ye divine offspring, and bud forth as the rose planted by the brooks of waters.
Give ye a sweet odour as frankincense.
Send forth flowers, as the lily, and yield a smell, and bring forth leaves in grace, and praise with canticles, and bless the Lord in his works.
Magnify his name, and give glory to him with the voice of your lips, and with the canticles of your mouths, and with harps, and in praising him, you shall say in this manner:
All the works of the Lord are exceeding good.
