Original text and translations

Latin text

1. Petrus beatus catenarum laqueos
Christo jubente rupit mirabiliter,
custos ovilis, et doctor ecclesiae,
pastorque gregis, conservator ovium
arcens luporum truculentam rabiem.

2. Quodcumque vinclis super terram strinxerrit,
erit in astris religatum fortiter,
et quod resolvit in terris arbitrio,
erit solutum super caeli radium;
in fine mundi judex erit saeculi.

3. Gloria Patri per immensa saecula,
sit tibi, Nate, decus et imperium,
honor, potestas Sanctoque Spiritui;
sit Trinitati salus individua
per infinita saeculorum saecula.
Amen.
