Original text and translations

Latin text

Venit lumen tuum Jerusalem
et gloria Domini super te orta est,
alleluya,
et ambulabunt gentes in lumine tuo
et reges in splendore ortus tui,
alleluya.

Leva Jerusalem in circuitu oculos tuos et vide:
omnes isti congregati sunt, venerunt tibi,
alleluya.

Filii tui de longe venient
et filiae tuae delatere surgent.
Tunc videbis et afflues et mirabitur
et dilatabitur cor tuum
quando conversa fuerit ad te multitudo maris,
fortitudo gentium venerit tibi,
alleluia.
