Original text and translations

Latin text

1. Æterne Rex altissime,
Redemptor et fidelium,
cui mors perempta detulit
summæ triumphum gloriæ.

2. Ascendis orbes siderum,
quo te vocabat cœlitus,
collata, non humanitus,
rerum potestas omnium.

3. Ut trina rerum machina
cœlestium, terrestrium,
et inferorum condita,
flectat genu jam subdita.

4. Tremunt videntes angeli
versam vicem mortalium,
peccat caro, mundat caro,
regnat Deus, Dei caro.

5. Sis ipse nostrum gaudium,
manens Olympo præmium,
mundi regis qui fabricam
mundana vincens gaudia.

6. Hinc te precantes quæsumus,
ignosce culpis omnibus,
et corda sursum sublena
ad te superna gratia.

7. Ut um repente cœperis
clarere nube judicis,
pœnas repelle debitas,
reddas coronas perditas.

8. Jesu, tibi sit gloria,
qui natus es ex Virgine:
cum Patre, et almo Spiritu,
in sempiterna sæcula.
