Original text and translations
Latin textUt queant laxis resonare fibris
Mira gestorum famuli tuorum,
Solve polluti labii reatum, Sante Joannes.
Ille promissi dubius superni,
Perdidit promptae modulus loquelae:
Sed reformasti genitus peremptae organa vocis.
Gloria patri geniteque proli
et tibi compar utriusque semper
spiritus alme deus unus omni tempore secli.Original text and translations may be found at Ut queant laxis.
