Latin text

Spiritus Domini replevit orbem terrarum, Alleluia.
Et hoc quod continet omnia, scientiam habet vocis. Alleluia.
Exurgat Deus, et dissipentur inimici ejus, et fugiant qui oderunt eum a facie ejus.
Gloria Patri…

English translation

The Spirit of our Lord hath replenished the whole world, alleluia.
And that which containeth all things, hath knowledge of the voice. Alleluia.
Let God arise, and let his enemies be dispersed, and let them that hate him flee from from his face.
Glory be...

Wisdom 1:7; Psalm 67:2
