Original text and translations

Latin text

Rorate caeli desuper, et nubes pluant justum;
aperiatur terra et germinet Salvatorem.
Per viscera misericordiae tuae piissime Jesu,
Illuminare nobis oriens exalto
ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis.
Surge, surge, Jerusalem, excutere te pulvere;
solve vincola coli tui, quia gloria
Domini orta est, et regnat super te Salvator mundi.
