Original text and translations

Latin text

Jesu salvator saeculi,
Redemptis ope subveni,
Et pia Dei genitrix,
Salutem posce miseris.

Coetus omnes angelici,
Patri archarum cunei,
Ac prophetarum merita,
Nobis precentur veniam.

Baptisma Christi praevius,
Et claviger aethereus,
Cum ceteris apostolis,
Nos solvant nexu criminis.

Chorus sacratus martyrum,
Confessio sacerdotum,
Et virginalis castitas,
Nos a peccatis abluat.

Clericorum suffragia
Omnesque cives caelici
Annuant votis supplicum
Et vitae poscant praemium.

Laus, honor, virtus, gloria
Deo Patri et Filio
Sancto simul Paraclyto,
In sempiterna saecula. Amen.
