Latin text

Ut queant laxis
resonare fibris
mira gestorum
famuli tuorum,
solve polluti
labiis reatum,
sancte Joannes.

Ille promissi
dubius superni
per didit promptae
modulos loquelae;
sed reformasti
genitus peremptae
organa vocis.

Laudibus cives
celebrant superni
te, Deus simplex
pariterque trine;
supplices ac nos
veniam precamur:
parce redemptis.

Nuntius celso
veniens Olympo,
te patri magnum
fore nasciturum,
nomen, et vitae
seriem gerendae,
ordine promit.

Ventris obstruso
recubans cubili,
senseras Regem
thalamo manentem:
hinc parens,
nati, meritis,
uterque, abdita pandit.
