Original text and translations

Latin text Impetum inimicorum ne timueritis. Memores estote quomodo salvi facti sunt patres nostri Et nunc clamemus in cœlum et miserebitur nostri Deus noster. Memento te mirabilium eius quae fecit Pharaoni et exercitui eius in mari Rubro. Et nunc clamemus in cœlum et miserebitur nostri Deus noster.

English text Fear not the onslaught of thine enemies. Remember how our fathers were saved And now let us shout to heaven, and may our Lord God be merciful. Remember the miracle he performed against Pharoah and his armies in the Red Sea. And now let us shout to heaven, and may our Lord God be merciful.
