Latin.png Latin text

Exsultet coelum, mare, sol, luna et sidera,
quia fulgens clare Deus per omnia,
en jacet in cunabulis et pendet ad ubera,
concrepat vagitibus ipsa laetitia.

Potentia fit impotens, fit egens divitia,
et sitit atque esurit qui pascit omnia,
vexatur et algoribus qui vestit lilia,
immensus et innumerus fert infantilia.

Tenor cantus firmus:
Quis audivit talia, dic mirabilia.
