Latin text

1. Splendor paternae gloriae,
   de luce lucem proferens,
   lux lucis et fons luminis,
   diem dies illuminans.

2. Verusque sol, illabere
   micans nitore perpeti,
   iubarque Sancti Spiritus
   infunde nostris sensibus

3. Votis vocemus et Patrem,
   Patrem perennis gloriae,
   Patrem potentis gratiae,
   culpam releget lubricam.
