Original text and translations

Latin text

1. Eja, Deo accinamus
   Carmen eucharisticum,
   Et Gonzaagae concinamus
   Dignum laudis canticum!
   Mundum, carnem superasti,
   De inferno triumphasti,
   Inclyte, inclyte,
   Vistor tu clarissime!

2. Sive mundus et tenebat
   Vanas per divitias,
   Sive carnis commendabat
   Sordidas delicias,
   Semper victor evasisti,
   Hoc te scuto protexisti:
   Quid est hoc, quid est hoc
   Ad aeterna gaudia!

3. Tua nunquam auri splendor
   Fascinacit lumina,
   Nec argenti vanus clangor
   Recreavit pectora:
   Nempe coelum cogitabas,
   Semper hinc ingeminabas:
   Quid est hoc, quid est hoc
   Ad aeterna gaudia!

4. Non a recto me vocabit
   Vana mundi gratia,
   Nunquam posthac me turbabit
   Vana mentis gloria;
   Cum Gonzaga sum securus,
   Dum frequenter su dicturus:
   Quid est hoc, quid est hoc
   Ad aeterna gaudia!
