Latin text

Iste confessor Domini,
sacrata festa plebs cuius celebrat per orbem
hodie laetus meruit secreta scandere,
scandere caeli.
Qui pius, prudens, humilis, pudicus, sobrius, castus fuit et quietus
vita, dum presens vegetavit ejus corporis artus.
Ad sacrum cujus tumulum frequenter membra languentium modo
sanitati, quolibet morbo fuerint gravata, restituuntur.
Unde nunc noster chorus in honorem ipsius hymnum canit nunc
libenter, ut piis ejus meritis juvemur omne per aevum.
Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus, qui, supra caeli residens cacumen,
totius mundi machina gubernat trinus et unus. Amen.
