Edition notes: Transcribed from 1544 print. Original key (chiavi naturali) and note values. Altus notated in transposed violin clef. In the original print Quintus is notated in baritone clef, but its range is almost identical with the tenor so we notated it in the same clef as the Tenor.

Benedictus redemptor omnium,
qui saluti providens hominum

mortis hora nos tecum suscipe,
et hic semper nos pie respice.
