Latin text Coelestis urbs Jerusalem, beata pacis visio, quae celsa de viventibus, saxis ad astra tolleris, sponsaeque ritu cingeris mille angelorum millibus. Decus Parenti debitum Sit usque quaque altissimo Nato que Patris unico et inclito Paraclito cui laus potestas gloria eternal sit per saecula.

English translation Heavenly city of Jerusalem, Blessed vision of peace, Which in Heaven from living beings As its stones is built in the stars above, and like a bride is adorned with a thousand thousand angels. Glory be to you, O Father and also to the most high, the only Son of the Father, With the Holy Spirit To whom praise, power and glory eternal be for ever.
