Latin text Suscipe clementissime Deus Oblationem istam Quam tibi offerimus hodie In spiritu humilitatis In honorem Sancti Joannis Baptistae Veni et benedic hoc sacrificium Immensae maiestati tuae praeparatum Quam laudant angeli et archangeli Qui non cessant clamare quotidie: Tu solus sanctus, tu solus Dominus Altissimus Jesu Christe.
