Latin text

Sive vigilem, sive dormiam, sive edam aut bibam,

semper videor mihi audire sonum tubae

et voce angeli clamantis et dicentis:

Surgite mortui, et venite ad iudicium.

Vigilemus et oremus, quia nescimus

diem neque horam quando Dominus veniet.

English translation

Whether I keep watch or sleep, whether I eat or drink,

always I seem to hear the sound of the trumpet

and the voice of an angel calling out and saying:

Rise up, ye dead, and come to the judgement.

Let us watch and pray, for we do not know

the day nor the hour when the Lord will come.
