Original text and translations

Latin text Sponso Deus ut prosperet thori iugalis foedera, optata donet gaudia, Ipsum benigne protegat. Omnes vocati ad nuptias eius simul nunc supplices vero precamur pectore. O Christe votis annue.

German translation Möge Gott dem Bräutgam befördern das Bündnis des ehelichen Lagers, möge er die erhofften Freuden gewähren, möge er ihn gnädig beschützen. Alle, die zu seiner Vermählung geladen sind, bitten nun gleichermaßen aus wahrem Herzen. O Christus, erhöre die Gebete! Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation May God advancefor the bridegroom the covenant of the conjugal bed, may he bestow the desired joys, may he protect him benignly. All called to his wedding now equally beg with a true heart. O Christ, accept our prayers. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
